MAIN EVENT: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON CHRISTMAS
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: WE CAN CELEBRATE JESUS' BIRTH

SERIES OVERVIEW:

The Christmas season is filled with many celebrations but Jesus being born is the biggest reason to celebrate! Even though we have heard the story of baby Jesus many times by now, for your youngest kids, it's still a fairly new story that they usually only hear once a year. Help them feel the wonder and excitement of Christmas each week, in anticipation of the big day! In addition to all the holiday tidings, remind your kids that they can celebrate God's plan for Jesus' birth. We can worship Jesus and celebrate because God keeps promises!

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!
