LittleLIFE
A Series on Christmas
At Christmas, gifts are all around us but we know the holiday isn't about the toys—it's about the joy of Jesus' birth. We
might experience joy from opening up gifts, but God gives us even greater joy through Jesus. In this series, preschoolers will learn all about the joy Jesus brought into the world. They'll learn that Jesus is the Savior God promised, how God sent Jesus at the perfect time, that
everyone is invited to worship Jesus because Jesus brings joy to the world , and what it means to say Jesus is God's greatest gift.

StudentLIFE
A series on Christmas
Our favorite Christmas memories might involve snowball fights, presents, or time with people we love. The end of the
year is a great chance for us to reflect on everything that’s happened and everyone around us. When we really think
about it, there’s so much we can be thankful for each and every year — even if things didn’t work exactly how we
planned. God has given us so much, and the birth of Jesus is a great way to focus on all of the gifts we’ve received
this year. Retelling these classic Christmas stories will teach us about gratitude and thankfulness during this series.
As students hear about the prophecies and stories of Jesus’ birth, they’ll be reminded to be thankful for each other,
what God has done, and God’s promises, and to be thankful even when it’s not easy

Our #1 Parenting Resource:
Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.
- Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
- Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
- Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
- We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
