Fun Photos From 12/16/12

Check out some photos of us having fun at service on December 16, 2012!!

 

We learned about the shepherds and that the angels told them not to be afraid because Jesus was born.

 

We took some shaving cream and a q-tip to make fur for our sheep, we made bell bracelets, and we blew cotton balls into the hoola hoop to get all of our "sheep" in the "pen." The shepherds were the first ones to know about Jesus being born, and He is our gift to us.

 

In the prayer spot, we thanked God that we are able to be with our families at Christmas. We also prayed for the soldiers and those who are not able to spend Christmas with their families.

 

We also had froggy dressed up as an angel!

 

Just a reminder, there is no service on December 31, 2012. Enjoy your holiday!!!

Why is Jesus special?

On December 2, we examined the question "Why is Jesus special?" The answer, of course, is that Jesus is God's Son. Our Bible story came from Luke 1:26-33,38,46 where the angel told Mary that she would have a special baby.


We ate angels made out of cheese, crackers, and chocolate chips for eyes.

We colored angels with gold cupcake wings.

We made snow angels!

We also started learning our new scripture for the month John 3:16 - "God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son.” (GNT) Feel free to practice this at home with motions! We will provide a link to the motions on the sidebar of this page!

The prayer this month is to remember that everything we do to celebrate Jesus birthday is an act of worship unto our Lord. One way that we are worshipping our Lord is by learning the song "Away in a Manger" but with an upbeat style!

We would also like to welcome Simon Bigger as our newest student volunteer!!

Our focus this month is the manger scene and Jesus' birth, and you can do several activities at home to remind your child of this special event:

1. Play a memory game with baby items. Instructions: Place on a tray baby items pacifier, lotion etc. and talk about how God gave us baby Jesus. Cover tray with a towel or napkin and see how many items you can remember that were on the tray.
2. Make handprint angels. Instructions: http://www.kinderart.com/crafts/handprintangels.shtml
3. Make crafts that remind us of baby Jesus. Here is a website that has several craft ideas for making ornaments, pictures, decorations, etc. that involve baby Jesus. http://happyhomefairy.com/2011/12/02/baby-jesus-crafts/
