The Light Before Christmas guides PREK and elementary children in learning about the reason we celebrate Christmas. Each lesson points to Christ, the Light of the World who came to save us from the darkness of sin. Through a Bible study of light and darkness, children will discover how the theme of light weaves its way through the Christmas story and God’s plan of salvation. Scripture readings, dramas, object lessons, discussions, activity pages, crafts, and songs will engage our children in preparing their hearts for the true meaning of Christmas. The Light Before Christmas will continue in Sunday School from 9:45-10:45 a.m. on December 10 & 17, and in Children's Church on the morning of the 24th.
Also available for families for $15 (in the children's wing or in adult Sunday School) is The Light Before Christmas family Advent devotional that will reinforce the truths learned at church as families gather for reading and worship at home. Together, the 13 devotionals, three for each week of Advent plus one for Christmas, will help families see the light of Jesus shining bright not only in the Advent season but all year long. Each devotional includes a Scripture for the day, an object lesson, a focus Scripture, a question to discuss as a family, a song to sing together, and a prayer.
