Have you ever had to wait for a long time? How about years or a lifetime? Simeon and Anna waited that long to meet Jesus. Today we will celebrate a little more Christmas through prayer, song and story.
This week for GIFT Ms. Kari will be sharing about Mary and Elizabeth. We will sing Christmas songs and celebrate this Advent season.
Today we hear the story of Angel Gabriel telling Mary about Jesus. Can you imagine saying yes to possibilities you were not expecting? We will sing, pray, and learn about what gifts you share.
Join Morgan and learn about the book of Isaiah. Along with singing, prayer, and a story you will get to do an art project. If you are able, you will want to have paper, pencil, and something to color with.
