Team Church Kids

Isn’t it amazing how fast Christmas seems to get here each year.  I know for me, it seems that we just celebrated Christmas…and then “BOOM” here it is again.  That’s OK, because it is my favorite time of year and look forward to it each year.  This year our church’s theme was the Christmas Express.  The focus being about “Getting On Board!”  I hope our Little Blue Choo-Choo day, our watching and discussing The Polar Express movie has helped you understand the call, “ALL ABOARD!”  I hope as the year winds down, that your relationship with Jesus is just getting wound up.  Please take time this season to remember the most amazing gift you can ever receive…the gift of the Father over 2000 years ago when He sent His Son to earth to live the life we couldn’t and to take our place on the cross.  Merry Christmas!

This past Sunday we watched part 1 of the Polar Express.  If you missed it, come this Sunday and catch part 2.  What we learned is that spiritual truth can be found in a lot of places, including movies like this.  The conductor in the movie said, “Sometimes, seeing is believing, and sometimes the most real things in the world we can’t see.”  What is something so real to us as Christians, yet we have yet to see Him?  God!  Exactly.  Let me encourage you that faith is about not seeing and yet still believing.  Now jump into the Bible and find Hebrews 11, verse 1.  This is our STAR Verse, copy it down and bring it in on Sunday for a prize!

Yesterday we rode the Little Blue Choo!  Did you get on board?  I hope that you did and had a great time.  Now there is another train that is calling all passengers…that is the J-Train.  What is the J-Train?  Simply put, it is the Jesus Train.  Jesus is interested in you giving your heart to him so that He can give you the best life possible! Jesus came and died for your ticket onto the J-Train.  Get on board.  Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give your rest.  Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Copy down this entire verse and bring this on Sunday.  It is this week’s STAR Verse!
