MEMORY VERSE:  

John 1:4 NIV

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 

LESSONS:

Lesson 1 - Christmas Candles

Scripture: John 1:1-14, Jesus – The Word and the Light

Darkness can be scary. But all it takes is one little candle to destroy the darkness and

bring light. Jesus came to earth to be the Light of the World. Even in our darkest times,

we can remember that Jesus can brighten any situation with his light.

Objective: Kids will say, “Jesus brightens even the darkest situations.”

Lesson 2 - Fireplace

Scripture: Luke 1:26-38, The Angel Visits Mary

Gathering around the fireplace is cozy and warm and gives us a sense of peace. Mary

was distressed when she learned that she would have a baby, but she was soon

comforted to know that this baby was God's gift and would come to bring peace and

comfort to all people.

Objective: Kids will say, “Jesus brings me comfort and peace.”

Lesson 3 - String of Lights

Scripture: Matthew 1:18-24, Joseph Takes Mary as His Wife

It's fun to gather with the people we love – our families – and decorate the house with

Christmas lights. Joseph loved Mary, but he was confused when he learned that she

was going to have a baby. In a dream, an angel told Joseph to take Mary and to love

the child as his own. To make them his family. Because he loved us, God sent Jesus to

earth to bring us his light and to give us the chance to be a part of God's family.

Objective: Kids will say, “Jesus shows us the love of God.”

Lesson 4 - Lamp Post

Scripture: Luke 2:1-20, The Birth of Jesus

Lamp posts line our streets and sidewalks all year long. But during the long winter

nights, especially when there is snow on the ground, we can be extra thankful for these

lights to show us where the path is. When the angels visited the shepherds, they set the

shepherds on a path that would lead them to Jesus, the one who brightens our lives and

brings us joy.

Objective: Kids will say, “Jesus leads me in the right direction.”

Lesson 5 - Christmas Star

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11, The Magi

The Christmas star shone in the sky for all to see, but only a small group of magi were

wise enough to follow it to the true light of Christmas – Jesus. The magi shared with

Jesus their gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh. This Christmas – and each day of the year

– we can share the light of Christmas, Jesus, with everyone we meet.

Objective: Kids will say, “I can share Jesus with the whole world.”
