Main Objective: Christmas is full of excitement, and can be overwhelming. At this time of parties, presents, and programs, it’s important to highlight and emphasize the beauty of the Gospel. This message aims to remind children of the Good News sent for us, and to invite them to proclaim that joy to others with eager enthusiasm.

*Note: this Gospel is admittedly a little tricky…it seems to focus on Joseph’s reluctance to take Mary as his wife in her pregnant state, and highlights the angel’s reminder that the “virgin conceiving” prophecy was being fulfilled. Most young children cannot (and perhaps should not) understand this element of the “birds and the bees”, so we are opting to aim the emphasis on the angel’s message of hope and joy. Alternatively, you could highlight the element of Jesus’s name of Immanuel, “God with us.” This is one option.

Law/Gospel Theme: Jesus was born as the fulfillment of God’s promises to us. This Messiah was sent to live and die so that we may be restored in relationship to the Father. Just as the angels announced His coming and His birth, we should be excited to announce who Jesus was and what He did for us.
