Jesus is Born!

This weekend we will continue our Christmas series "WOW: the greatest gift," and our preschoolers will hear the story of Jesus' birth.

Mary knew that she was going to have a very special baby boy! The angel Gabriel told her that her baby was God’s son and His name would be Jesus. It was almost time for her to have her baby when Joseph got a message that everyone had to travel back to the city where they were born to be counted. Joseph gently helped Mary onto his donkey and they went to Bethlehem. When they finally got there, it was nighttime, and Mary was tired. They tried to find a room to stay in, but because there were so many people in town, there was no place to stay! Mary and Joseph went to a stable where animals slept. They got ready to go to sleep and then something amazing happened. Mary had her baby! She wrapped him up in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger. The baby Jesus, God’s special gift to us, was born.

You can find the story in Luke 2:1-7.

See you this weekend!
