Whose birthday is it anyway? Are you sure your child understands
what we celebrate at Christmas? Make Christmas special this year
by starting a family tradition of devotion time and prayer with
learning more about Jesus and why he is special. Together you
can make Chrismon ornaments and decorate a tree. Make an
advent wreath, light the candles and talk about the significance
of each one. This second edition of this popular book has lots
of new ornaments and patterns. What a fun way to begin family
Christmas traditions children can carry into adulthood and to
the next generation.
This book is the answer to every Children’s Church
leader’s holiday worries. Wondering what to do with
the kids this year? This book has the answer. It is
really more of a performance/activity book. The
activities can be tailored for one to dozensof children,
and can be used with lots of groups for one long
performance, or by a small group, a little at a time.
And of course, nothing here has to be performed
before an audience at all--other than the class leader,
teacher or parent. Children will benefit by learning
the simple sentences, rhymes, and easy Scripture
verses without any emphasis on public display.
But the little acrostic pieces are perfect for a
pre-sermon quickie performance and will assuredly
delight parents and audiences. In addition to reciting,
the activities include making ornaments and decorating
a tree, and the emphasis is totally on Jesus. I’m already
planning which ones to use for our family and church
this year. The thinking has been done, and I have only
to copy, and work with the kids. What a relief!
