December Scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions 
"God so loved the world that he gave His only Son."  John 3:16 click here for scripture motions.

Prayer Time: #1 in our top 10:   Ask the kids what you can pray about and lead them in prayer about their personal requests.

Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) The curriculum has you opening gift boxes each week and you could wrap a prop or a picture up to help tell the story.  You don't have to wrap four gift boxes and follow that.  You can read the angel part of the story from a children's Bible or Use one of the large story books that I have.  Each week we will build on the Christmas story. This week it is about the Angel and Mary. 

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun) It's a countdown theme for Christmas. 

• Count and Listen-easy- no props
• Angel Craft-I will bring one you can do.  The kids can color an angel and then add glitter if they want.  Simple to do. 
• Speedy Delivery-fun game idea that emphasizes the idea of delivering a message the way the angel delivered Mary a message.
