Children's Ministry Lesson for December 21

*THIS SUNDAY: On December 21, our Children's Ministry will help lead two songs from stage at the start of our gathering! If your child would like to participate, rehearsal will be held at 9:15am on December 21. Here are the links to the correct versions of the songs they'll help lead: Joy to the World and Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Kiddos will also lead the church in the passing of the peace with these words: "Because of the gospel, we have peace with Christ and peace with one another. Let's turn and greet each other in the peace of Christ."

For this Sunday, we will have classes for:

• Gospel Tots - ages 1 - 2 Years Old
• Gospel Tykes - ages 2 - 5 Years Old
• Gospel Kids - K - 2nd Grade
• Gospel Students - 3rd - 5th Grade

We use the Gospel Project for Kids curriculum for the Children's Ministry at GLC.  The Gospel Project for Kids is a Christ-centered ongoing weekly Bible study resource that looks at the big picture of God's story, the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Each week, kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

And now for this week's lesson... 

This upcoming Sunday your child will learn about: Jesus Is Our Rescuer
Story Point from Luke 2: Jesus is the promised Messiah who came from heaven to rescue us from sin.
Family Bible Reading: So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Big Picture Question: How can we glorify God?
Big Picture Answer: We can glorify God by loving Him and obeying Him.
