Christmas, Valley Kids Style

This year Valley Kids is celebrating Christmas in a big way.  We have decked out the building and created an exciting atmosphere that we hope children will want to bring their friends to.  It is through this festive atmosphere that we intend to teach kids about the true meaning of Christmas; the “gift” behind all the gifts under the tree, the birth of Jesus.

Over the next 4 weeks  I’d love to hear what your kids are saying about their mornings with us, so be sure and give us feedback!  I know my own kids were very excited about their count down to Christmas chain they brought home Sunday.  It prompted some great conversations during lunch and just this morning I was awoken bright and early as my six year old trying to slip a “love note” under my pillow.  (He is taking these tasks very seriously.)

The following is a brief description of what your Valley Kid will be learning this month:

December 6th, “Prepare the Way”

As we “Prepare the Way” for the holidays we can become distracted by the business of shopping, picture taking, cookie decorating, and more.  Kids are going to be reminded of how God prepared the way for us through Jesus.

December 13th, “Unstoppable Love”

Come experience the story of Mary’s journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus like never before.  This will be a morning of discovering God’s “Unstoppable Love” for us.

December 20th, “What Christmas is Really About”

See first hand what Christmas in NOT about by journeying into the homes of our special guests as they prepare for the holidays.  Kids will have a good laugh as they see the craziness of well meaning family members when they lose sight of the true menaing of Christmas.

December 27th, “Dirty Jobs – Christmas Edition”

Experience the “Dirty Kobs” of Bethlehem.  With the Christmas clean up ahead, kids will hear about the dirty jobs that the children in Bethlehem encountered.  They will learn how keeping focused on Jesus can help keep even the dirtiest of jobs in perspective.

We look forward to spending the month of December with your children in Valley Kids!
