Chewbacca

Here in the Northern Diocese we have a devotional given out yearly to guide our daily worship and prayer life. It has verses and prayers listed for each day, and although they are all in Sepedi, I have been using it recently for our youth services as I have been asked to prepare a sermon on the lesson of the day. This little pink book pictured is entitled Tšhupa Mabaka which is not pronounced as you would expect— phonetically it is pronounced Choo-pah Mah-bach-ah—or that’s how I would write it out phonetically, I know it is not the “correct” way. Take out the middle sounds of “pah and Mah” and you get Chewbacca. Star Wars will follow me anywhere I go.
