Good News of Great Joy

How easy is it to get caught up in the excitement and busyness of the Christmas season! Yet this most wonderful time of the year is really the celebration of the birth of Jesus and is full of opportunities to help your child to reflect on the wonder of God sending His Son to earth in human form.

Good News of Great Joy is a simple Advent resource to help your family stop and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, marvel at the providential events surrounding the birth of Jesus, and give thanks for God's provision of the One who has given us "the right to become children of God."

Starting on December 1, your child can remove a card from the appropriate envelope each day to discover an original drawing illustrating a part of the Christmas story. The back of the card notes a Scripture passage that you can read together as a family. After examining the illustration, reading the passage, discussing the text, and praying together, your child can place  a similar illustration piece on the accompanying Advent scene.

This simple-to-use, reusable resource can become part of your family tradition as you remember together the birth of our Savior and the salvation He obtained for those who are trusting in Him.
