I hope you and your family had a wonderful thanksgiving. You and your teaching team were on my list of things I am thankful for. God has been very gracious to us as we spend time each week preparing for Sunday’s. I find great joy in knowing that the gospel is going out in your classrooms. God is moving in our ministry we are seeing new families coming to church because of you families and the children God is using in our classrooms.
As we are now in the midst of the Christmas season, let us be diligent to help the children in our rooms every Sunday remember the point of this celebration. That as John tells us in his first chapter the word became flesh. As often as you can for the next 3 weeks describe for your class the beauty of God coming to earth as a baby to live the life we could not live and to die the death we could not die. God has given us great opportunities to use the birth of our Savior to speak to the need for salvation. Jesus came to save His people from their sins. My prayer through this Christmas season is that God would use the beautiful story of Jesus birth to bring some of these little ones to saving faith.
Our ministry is fun, but our message is life changing. Please take time to stop and remember our why we teach and serve. The goal is the gospel and that as we plant seeds the Holy Spirit would take the truth of who Jesus is and move in hearts.
I hope that you personally have a wonderful Christmas celebration speaking and living with the words of the angel to Mary and Joseph that His name will be Emanuel, which means God with us. He is here with us and we have the greatest gift ever given in forgiveness of sins and communion with God.
