Sunday Mornings in December
Kids' Konnection and Preschool Praisers are going through . . .
A SERIES ABOUT CHRISTMAS ON HOW GOD IS A PROMISE KEEPER
Christmas time holds promises - joy, lights, and even sweet treats. This month, kids will learn about the sweet promises God kept at Christmas. When sin entered the world, God made a promise to His people to send a Saviour who would redeem them. And as someone may have anticipation for a recipe to finish baking, many had great anticipation as they waited for the promised Messiah. In December, we celebrate the fruition of that Genesis promise. Our great God did not leave us to our sin but kept His promise! The stunning beauty of the Christmas season is that God is the promise keeper who sent the greatest gift of all - Jesus, our forever King, Messiah, and Rescuer!
