LESSONS:
LESSON 1: WORSHIP FULLY
BIG IDEA: I CAN PRAISE AND WORSHIP GOD FULLY
STORY: MARY VISITS ELIZABETH
PASSAGE: LUKE 1:39-56
In this session children will learn how Mary worships God when she learns of being pregnant. Do your children understand what it means to worship fully?
LESSON 2: JUST BE YOU
BIG IDEA: JUST BE YOU
STORY: JESUS IS BORN
PASSAGE: LUKE 2:1-7
Children often feel that they have to be or act differently to the person that they truly are. This session reminds children that they can be themselves because Jesus didn’t come to pretend, impress or put on an act.
LESSON 3: GIVE MORE
BIG IDEA: GOD IS THE GREATEST GIVER
STORY: THE WISE MEN
PASSAGE: MATTHEW 2:1-12
By following the wise men’s decision to give gifts to Jesus your children will discover and discuss why we give. With such a preoccupation to receive, today’s children want to hear why it is more important to give.
LESSON 4: LOVE ALL
BIG IDEA: I CAN LOVE EVERYONE
STORY: ANGELS VISIT THE SHEPHERDS
PASSAGE: LUKE 2:8-20
Jesus came for all – that is the message of this children’s session. Children will hear about how the shepherds were visited by angels first and that they were important to God… even though they were just ordinary people.
