Children's church lesson: Jesus is born!

Story
Say:  There is a very special holiday coming soon, what is it? (Christmas)  That’s right! What does Christmas a celebration of? (Jesus’ birthday)  Yes!  Today we are going to read the story of Jesus birth.  Where was Jesus born? (In a stable)  And what was in the stable? (Animals)   You guys are so smart!  When I read about the animals I want you to make that animal sound, ok? 


Read “Jesus is Born” in the any children's story bible.  When you read the sounds the animals made, allow the children time to make those same sounds.  
Lesson
Say: What a story!  Praise God!  Jesus is born!  Who were the first people to hear about Jesus birth? (The Shepherds)  Who else celebrated in the story? (Angels, Stars, Mary and Joseph, the animals)  Why is Jesus birth so important? (Jesus is the savior of the world)
That’s right!  Jesus birth is so important and such wonderful news because Jesus is the son of God.  When Jesus is born, heaven and earth celebrate God’s love!  He came to this earth so that everyone who believes in him will be with him forever!  
Memory Verse
The time came for the baby to be born. – Luke 2:6

Big Idea
When Jesus is born, heaven and earth celebrate God’s love!

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.
