Remember When: a 4-Week Teaching Series for Youth Ministry TOPIC: Christmas SCRIPTURE: the Gospels & the Prophets DECORATING THEME: Christmas Nostalgia AGE GROUP: Students Christmas is one of those holidays that feels timeless. The traditions, music, and made-for-TV movies not only connect us, but also the other parts of our lives. It's a season that invites us to be nostalgic and think about memories from Christmases past. In this 4-week series from the Gospels, we'll take a look at the Christmas story to see how something we may have heard long ago can still help us grow today. As we reflect on these classic stories, we'll remember how Christmas reminds us Jesus is our Savior and that God can be trusted, to rely on each other, and to trust that God is with us.
