Current Series - “extra! extra!-celebrate the good news of jesus’ birth”

God view: The connection between truth and God’s creation, as shown through God’s Big Story

Merry Christmas! It’s time once more to “let every heart repair a broom” and “sleep in heavenly peas.” Even though there can beconfusion around some of the classic carols, every kid knows that Christmas is a time to celebrate. And we have the incredible privilege of explaining why! You may be teaching the Christmas story for the fourth time (or twenty fourth), but it’s still fresh and new for the kids in your ministry. Even though some of them may have heard the story every year, that doesn’t mean they yet understand how the birth of Baby Jesus two thousand years ago changes everything for us today.

This month, we’ll look at prophecies of Jesus’ birth from a dark time in the decline of God’s people and the return from exile. We’ll explore how God had a plan from the very beginning to send Jesus and how all of history leads up to that point. In the stories of Mary and Zechariah, in the birth of Jesus, and in the visits of the shepherds and the wise men, we see how God’s perfectly orchestrated story was cause for celebration then... and how it’s just as much reason for us to celebrate today!

We can’t wait to partner with you this month!
