This Christmas at Bethel we are coordinating our Sunday morning messages with our Kids Church curriculum. The message you hear Pastor Tim preach upstairs will be the same message your children are taught in their classrooms. This provides you parents with an excellent opportunity to teach your children God’s word. Each Sunday you will be taught from a passage in Luke chapter 1 so you can go home and teach the same thing to your children.
The back of this newsletter provides you with the Bible Passage, Memory Verse, and At Home activity for each of the three Christmas messages. During the week before each Sunday, read the Bible Passage and work on memorizing the Memory Verse with your children. After church each Sunday, do the At Home activity with your children. Throughout the following week, help your children to apply the Bible message to their lives by following through with the At Home activity. For example, after Sunday, December 16th, help your children be more humble, obedient, or trusting in one area of their lives.
As your Children’s Pastor, my job is to help you parents disciple your children at home. This Christmas will test what I think could be the most effective way to do this. Please do your best to teach your children Luke chapter 1 this Christmas and please give me feedback on how it goes. God truly is a God of wonder. I pray that all of us will fall more in love with him this Christmas season.
By God's grace,
Pastor Stephen
