The Baby Jesus: Jesus Is Born! This Advent season we have been celebrating when Jesus, was born in Bethlehem. We have been looking at the story of Jesus’ birth–how God made the world, how we have all gone astray like sheep, how we needed a Good Shepherd to bring us back to God https://t.co/KvMU5Lypgl
The (Empty) Manger: Jesus the Servant King. The baby Jesus was tucked in to a manger. A manger is a wooden box used to hold food for animals to eat. It probably wasn’t very soft or even very clean. Maybe Mary filled it with hay to make it softer for the tiny, new baby. https://t.co/3FEvjAVTFt
Year 6 - Gifts #2: Why Do We Give Gifts at Christmas. Part of our celebration of Jesus’ birth is that we give Christmas presents to each other. We give presents because it is the time when we remember the greatest gift ever given. God gave us Jesus, his only Son! https://t.co/I5IMq4dlDV
Gifts #1: The Wise Men Bring Gifts to Jesus the King When the wise men followed the star to find God’s great king, they didn’t come with empty hands. They brought some gifts with them to give to the baby. The wise men worshipped him and they laid these precious gifts at his feet. https://t.co/nDQWVnwvS9
The Camel: The Wise Men Come to Jesus. When they saw the special star that God put in the sky to announce the birth of his Son, the wise men began a long journey to find him. They travelled for a very long time until they came to Herod, the king of Israel. https://t.co/BW9ZvFnLE8
The Third Wise Man: The Whole World Needs to Hear About Jesus. The wise men studied the stars and they saw the great star that God put in the sky when Jesus was born. They knew that this star meant that a great king was born. They set off on a long journey to find him. https://t.co/0DSm3M3UKK
Year 3 - The Star: Jesus’ Birth Is a Cosmic Event. Mary and Joseph had found a place to sleep–maybe a stable–in Bethlehem. And Jesus was born. To show how important Jesus’ birth was, God put a new and unusual star in the sky over the place where he was born. https://t.co/wXBrNtE2Xv
Year 4 The Second Angel (Angel’s Wand): Good News of Great Joy For All People. The angels told the shepherds that they were bringing them good news. The angels said that this joyful good news would be for all people–not just for the shepherds and not just for the wise men. https://t.co/pOWvrdcsO5
