Hi ,
I don't normally send out emails on a Sunday, but as tomorrow is the 1st of December I wanted to make sure these Advent resources hit your mailbox in time.
Below we've linked up some fantastic resources that you can print out to use with your family or children's ministry. eBook $7.99
Does the craziness of the holiday seem to sweep you away? Do you sit there on December 25th and say, “Wait. Did we even talk about Jesus the last 24 days?”. Do Santa, gifts and parties cloud over the real stuff you want to focus on? Experience the true Christmas story this December with Truth in the Tinsel. Click Here! This is a set of 25
different ornaments available in color or black and white, each with a different name of Jesus written on them.
This is a printable card game for
use with a classroom of students. There are 24 different cards, each with a Bible verse and name of Jesus. Teacher gives out one card to each student (or multiple cards if you have a smaller class) and asks the child with "Alpha & Omega" to read their verse and then ask the "Who has...?" question at the bottom of their card. Then the child with that particular card says, "I have....." and reads their bible verse, and asks their "Who has...?" question. In this manner
the game continues until the 24th card, the name of Jesus.
Tips:
- Print the cards on the backside of colored scrapbook paper. Use a small bit of glue to tack on a Hershey kiss or a small treat.
- After hearing each verse, ask children to think about what each name means. i.e. What does it mean to be a shepherd. Keep a running list of qualities of Jesus up on the board as you go.
- You could pair
this with the printable ornaments above, passing them out and having children color and decorate their ornament.
- Alternatively, you can punch a hole in the top of the card and string a ribbon through for children to hand on a miniature classroom tree.
Help children learn these important key Bible verses this Christmas. There are six different verses printed on an ornament and each can be stored in a printable pocket for children to take home. (Current Price $9.97, Then Use Coupon Code SAVE30)
Cutting down trees? Hanging stockings? Santa
