On Sunday, December 4th our church had a "Birthday Party For Jesus" outreach event. We love to have this at the beginning of December to focus the kids' (and adults') hearts on the true meaning of Christmas so the Advent season will be meaningful to them. This year we focused on what it means to adore Christ and how do we adore Him. Robyn and I used the "Adornaments" from Family Life Ministries and taught the kids about the different names Jesus is referred to in the bible and why he has these names. By learning these names, we learn more deeply about who Jesus is and we will be drawn to worship and adore Him in a more meaningful way. After the storytime, all the families made their own set of "Adornaments" to take home. We finished the evening by worshipping with song and fellowship with each other over a yummy potluck dinner. And of course we celebrated with Birthday Cupcakes too. It was a great way to start off December. Happy Birthday Jesus!
