Theme: Christmas Playlist: Let Heaven and Nature Sing!
CHRISTMAS—Celebrating Jesus, God’s greatest gift.
Overview: Have you ever stopped to listen to a group of carolers and then joined them to go spread some more Christmas cheer with others? Music is a big part of Christmas, but it’s not the main reason we celebrate. It’s easy to get distracted with all the lights, presents, and traditions that sometimes we forget it’s not about what we do, but Who we do it for and why we do it.
That’s why we’re singing loudly this December as we jam out to our Christmas Playlist to celebrate Jesus, God’s greatest gift! The best gift God ever gave was Jesus. Because of Jesus, we can have a relationship with God that will last forever. As we get in the mix this Christmas season, let’s take time to remember the reason we celebrate in the first place: Jesus, the greatest gift the world has ever known.
September Memory Verse:
“Every good and perfect gift is from God.” James 1:17a (NIrV)
Bonus Verse:
“Don’t forget to do good. Don’t forget to share with others. God is pleased with those kinds of offerings.” Hebrews 13:16
Giving Back
We believe it’s important for kids to practice offering a part of what we have back to God as a thank-you for all He’s given us! That’s why we have seasonally offering projects that kids can give towards that fund, sharing hope and practical support with other kids and families in our community and around the world.
