New Holidays

Amidst the rigors of learning how to use past perfect or simple past tense; changing gerund phrases to infinitives; learning challenging vocabulary and creating sensory word banks the international students have had an enriching time. Many experienced Thanksgiving and Christmas for the first time. Middle School listened to the radio drama about the life of Tisquantum and through his life they learned what Satan meant for evil God worked out for good. It led to good discussions about what happens when misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures. The Christmas season was especially blessed with an invitation to a Christmas Tea hosted by the Hephzibah House Ministry in their authentic Victorian brownstone. They served a variety of festive refreshments and a special tea poured from a camel shaped teapot. Best of all, students were touched by the testimonies of international college students and the thoughtfulness of all who ministered there. We are all looking forward to what the New Year will bring.
