This week was the third week of Advent and we spend our time learning about the three men who came from a great distance to meet Jesus and bring him extravagant gifts. To help you lead your family worship time you can use this week's Family Worship Guide.

We encourage you to take time in this holiday season to slow down and draw your children's attention for the real reason why we celebrate Christmas; God gave us the best and most costly gift we could ever imagine! We hope that you are establishing new traditions and keeping old traditions to make this time special for your kids.

We would also like to remind you that kids in the 3-5 Class and the 6-9 Class will be singing "Silent Night" at the Christmas Eve service. Please take some time in your week to practice and sing "Silent Night" with your family!
