Story
Say: Hello everyone! Are you taller today? You look like you’ve been growing. We all start life as little babies, then grow
and grow into big kids. Someone in our
story started small like us: Jesus!
Jesus was born as a little baby to his mother Mary and her husband Joseph. Do you know who told them Jesus was coming to
them? (Angels)
There
are two angels in this story. I wonder
what angels look like, do you? Listen closely to the story. Each time I read the word angel, flap your
arms like wings. Angels are polite and
patient, so after I’ve said the word angel and then keep reading hold still and
be patient until you hear the word
again.
Read “Angels Visit” (Annunciation) in any children's bible. Exaggerate
the word angel in your reading, allowing “flying time” for the children.
Lesson
Say: What
did Mary and Joseph do when they saw the angels? (They were afraid, but they listened
and believed) What did the angels tell
Mary and Joseph? (Do not be afraid. You will have a son; he will be God’s son,
name him Jesus) Why was Jesus’ coming such a big deal? (He is the son of God;
he came to save us all)
That’s
right, Jesus’ coming was so special because he is the son of God and he came to
save the world! God sent his son as a
new born baby, just like all of us! The
bible tells us that this new born baby has been with God since the beginning of
time. Jesus helped God create the
world!
Memory Verse
Nothing is impossible with God. – Luke 1:37
Big Idea
God send His son Jesus and he was
born a baby just like we were born.
Prayer- Ask for Joys and Requests
Take a minute to see if
the children have any prayer requests of joys.
Say short prayer thanking God for loving us and sending us his son.
Craft
Children
will make angles using cotton balls and muffin
cups.
