Children’s Corner
Hello FMBC
Parents/Guardians and Children,
Is December your favorite month of the year? If your
answer is yes, then we are in total agreement! Many people think
Christmas is about presents, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus. As
believers, we celebrate Christmas because it's the birth of Jesus Christ who is
the Son of God. It's a time to REMEMBER how Jesus came to give people hope,
joy, and love. JESUS IS THE REASON
FOR THE SEASON!
* December
1 is the First Sunday of Advent, marking the
beginning of the Advent season.
Advent is a period before
Christmas which celebrates the birth of Jesus.
It is a very important season for Christians. It is all about preparing for Christmas Day. Advent is a time to model for children how to
be still and marvel at God’s wonderful works.
I hope you enjoy the video and activities on Advent.
