12 Days of Christmas Scramble Game

Play this fun, active game in your ministry this Christmas season! Here’s how to play: Divide the group into teams of 12. Hand each of the players one of the objects from the 12 Days of Christmas. When the leader shouts “go” the teams must silently line themselves up according to where their object goes in the song by communicating without words to the other 11 players. You can redistribute the objects several times to see if they can get it faster! Another option is to randomly hand out the pages of the printable to the group as a whole and encourage kids to make a full set of the 12 days of Christmas by finding all of the other pieces/people they need! Download the Game Printable Here! This game comes from one of the lessons in Sing to the Lord, a 4-week Christmas series that teaches kids about why and who we...

What Live Christmas Trees Remind Us About Children’s Ministry

Are you team live Christmas tree or team fake Christmas tree at your house? I'm team real Christmas tree all the way. Always have been. Always will be. I love the smell, the excitement of decorating the tree, and the process of choosing just the right tree to take home from a local Christmas tree farm (I have a whole checklist of Christmas tree requirements). I even tried to plan the birth of my second child around being able to go get our live Christmas tree as usual. :) Our live Christmas tree twinkles in the corner of our living room, and it's got me thinking about our calling to serve kids and families. As we head into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I hope these reminders bring you encouragement, hope, and energy as you make the final preparations for some of the biggest services of the year. Here's what live Christmas trees can...

Help Families “Treasure These Things in their Hearts” this Advent Season

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This post is an excerpt from the family devotion included in the Family Advent Calendar Kit from Vanessa Myers of Family Faith Builders.  "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:19 When you think about Christmas, what are some things that come to mind? Your first response might be opening presents! Maybe you also said Christmas lights, candy canes, trees, ornaments, baking cookies, or traveling to visit family. How many of you said the birth of Jesus? As Christians, it's the whole reason we celebrate Christmas! We don't celebrate because we get gifts, but we celebrate because Jesus was born on this earth as a gift from God to save us from our sins so we could live forever with Him in heaven one day. As Christians, we also celebrate the season of Advent. This...
