Planning the Perfect Christmas

Unwrap the true meaning of a perfect Christmas with our Bible program, specially designed for kids! 🌿 Exploring Jesus’ miraculous birth and its beautiful connection with modern Christmas traditions. Each session is brimming with engaging Bible stories, creative crafts, fun games, and meaningful lessons to illuminate young hearts with divine love and joy this Christmas! 🎄💖✨ #ChristmasProgram #KidsCurriculum

This program has been designed to help kids explore the birth of Jesus and connect it with modern Christmas traditions. The program consists of five sessions where we will discover how God intricately designed the preparations for the first Christmas.

Our Key Verse for this series is: “According to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Ephesians 3:11

Five sessions:

THE PERFECT TREE (MATTHEW 1:1-16): Discover Jesus’ unique family tree. This lesson takes a closer look at His lineage, and just like we choose our Christmas trees with care, we’ll see how God picked the perfect lineage for Jesus, showing us His love for all people (even those who made mistakes).

THE PERFECT PROMISE (2 SAMUEL 7:12-16): Understand the depth of God’s promises, focusing on the birth of Jesus. This lesson will remind us that God always keeps His promises.

THE PERFECT LIGHT (ISAIAH 9:2; 60:1-3): Jesus is the light of the world. This lesson will teach us how Jesus came to rescue us from darkness and calls us to reflect His life into the world.

THE PERFECT PLACE (MICAH 5:2): Journey to Bethlehem, the humble town God chose for Jesus’ birth. We’ll learn that God often uses simple beginnings for great purposes, emphasizing the beauty of humility.

THE PERFECT GIFT (JOHN 3:16; LUKE 2:1-20): This session will make us appreciate that Jesus remains the greatest gift we could ever receive.
