Plan for Sunday Dec. 23rd
 
Announcements:

• Consider taking your field trip before you come to the worship room for story time.   Field trip idea:  Take your children on a field trip down to Memorial Hall (outside the sanctuary on the carpeted hallway). There is an amazing display of nativity sets from around the world in the built in glass cases.   You can talk to your children about how nativity sets look all over the world. 

• PLEASE SEE LESSON INFORMATION BELOW.  NO NEED TO PREPARE ANY CRAFTS OR GAMES THIS SUNDAY!

This week:  Lesson 4 of 5:Happy Birthday to Jesus!

• Click here and watch December's 3 min.overview video.

• Click here to see all the stories for the month of December.

Monthly Scripture:  "God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son." John 3:16.  (see motions in the curriculum)  Remember to review the scripture with the children

 Story:  (Make it True) This month you will you will not need to prepare anything for the story.  Please arrive  to room 117 (the preschool worship room) by 10:20am. I will show the video/story and then you can return to your room for activities and prayer.

Activities: 
This Sunday the activities were not my favoritee, so I found some other ideas.  In your room there will be one craft activity and one game activity.  There will also be a special treat to have to "celebrate Jesus' birth." All materials and instructions will be attached.  The craft will be assembling a paper birthday cake and the game is a "mystery bag" game.  Please take time to read through the "Make it stick" section and the Bible story so you will be familiar with the focus of the lesson.  

Prayer time: Gather in prayer sometime throughout the morning! Ask the kids what you can pray about!
