Message from the Desk of… Pastor Alson Ebanks: Senior Pastor As I reflect on the past 30 years as pastor of this congregation, one of the things that causes me great joys is to see the fruit of the church’s Children’s Choir. Like a farmer, we planted and watered…and waited. God gave the increase. That is why we keep on planting and watering…and waiting because we know that as we continue to sow into the lives of these children, we are investing for eternity. And, is there anything greater than that? Merry, Christ-filled Christmas from Norma and me to you and your family.

Fay Jackson: Director This Christmas, we pause to acknowledge the late Carol Mascarenhas, who started the children’s choir many, many years ago. Today we have seen children of past choir members joining the group and many more who are doing wonderful things for the Kingdom of God. She invested in the lives of young people and so we are inspired to continue with God’s guidance. We thank God for His faithfulness towards the Church of God Chapel Children’s Choir, where Children can express themselves, while experiencing the wonderful love of Jesus Christ. This Christmas season we would like to take you on a mission as the Spies and our CIKs [Christmas Intelligence Kids] secretly bring joy to the Cayman Islands Community. Thanks to everyone who continues to give of their time, talents and resources to make this program a success.

Jacie Mascarenhas: Co-Director Hello Everyone! It’s that time of year again: Christmas Musical Time! This Christmas Season be prepared to go undercover with us as we find out the true meaning of Christmas. It is such a privilege to be able to work with such talented, funny, and outgoing kids. It’s amazing to see that this choir, which was started years ago by my mom, is still going strong and continuing to grow to positively impact the younger generation. Proverbs 22:6 says “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it..” Thank you to all the kids and volunteers who have continued to give their time and energy to this amazing musical and mission. Now, your mission, should you choose to accept it: Please enjoy the production “We Three Spies”!
