Family Worship

Jesus Was Born:    

The focus of this family time is to use five easy steps to teach your family that Jesus was born! This was very good news! Jesus was not like other babies. Jesus is God’s Son. God sent Jesus to earth from heaven. Jesus came into the world to bring peace between people and God.



MEMORY VERSE: 

When the set time had fully come, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

- Galatians 4:4-5


Learn the Memory Verse together and say it throughout the week to help your family remember and apply what they have learned.


STEP 1. GATHER!

Use this time to begin Family Worship Night and have fun!


Lead your family in singing familiar Christmas carols that relate to the birth of Jesus. Suggestions include “Joy to the World,” “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” and “Go, Tell It on the Mountain.” 


SAY; We sing songs at Christmas that remind us of what God did for us when He sent Jesus. In our Bible story, Mary praised God with a song about how great God is. God chose a family for Jesus. Before God created the world, He planned to send Jesus. Jesus came to do God’s plan, to rescue people from sin.
