Mattan's Page
Hello, my name is Mattan and since September I have lived at Bitterne Park Baptist Church.
I tried several churches before I found Bitterne Park Baptist Church. Some were draughty and cold and some just didn't seem to be the right place for me. Then I found here. It was warm and the people were very friendly and welcoming. The singing maybe could improve but they looked like they were enjoying themselves. And after the service they had cake!
Each week I hide some where in the church and the children have to find me. It is really difficult to keep still and quiet but it's only for a short while because the children are getting very good at finding me.
I really enjoyed the Nativity on 8th December. It told the story how my country cousin Michael saw Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus and along the way met an Owl, a Sheep, a Cow, a Chicken and a maladjusted Cat.
All the animals had gifts for Jesus expect Michael. Until he realised that his gift was himself : “I gave him me, for as long as he needed me.”
There’s no better gift to give Jesus today or any day.
