What's Happening in the KidZone
November 29, 2017
Hello KidZone Families & Friends,
Happy Birthday Jesus!! We are having a party called the Family Fun Zone on Christmas Eve at 4:00-4:30, just before the 4:30 Family Christmas Eve Service. Bring all the kids, young and old, and have a great time with hot chocolate, a snack, activities, and even a family picture and then stay to participate in the Christmas Eve service where Pastor Bob will lead us in worship and celebration for God's greatest gift, Jesus.
Every year when I was growing up my mom would make a coffee cake for Christmas morning. We would wake up and open presents and then pop a candle in that coffee cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and then all blow out the candle. I loved this tradition and we have continued it in our family with our daughters. We travel to see our family during the holidays but we always have our own Christmas celebration at home, complete with a birthday coffee cake for Jesus! Maybe you would like to start that tradition in your own family, it's a great way to help children understand why we are celebrating and to keep the focus on the gift of God's son to us!
One great way to celebrate Jesus, God's greatest gift to us, is by loving others. We have an opportunity to love others in our community by ringing bells for the Salvation Army. On December 9th and 16th there are slots for your family to ring bells (and sing carols if you'd like) at the Kroger on Lindbergh Dr. Just click this link for the sign up!
