Suggestion box 3

 Saturday/Sunday suggestion box 3

 

Go carolling in your neighbourhood to bring the joy of Jesus’ birth to your surrounding community. You can also visit nursing homes, police and fire stations, hospitals, and homeless shelters. This doesn’t have to be long or complicated — just a few gospel-centred songs on joy-filled lips can make a world of a difference in someone’s life.

 

Make snow angels outside or use watercolours to paint angels inside. Reflect on the angels’ role in the nativity story, declaring the birth of the Prince of Peace (Lk 2.14).

 

Ask grandparents about what Christmas was like when they were kids. Share family memories together, and consider how the joy of Jesus’ birth — the Alpha and Omega — has been a continuous cause for celebration year after year, even though customs and traditions may change.

 

Listen to international Christmas music, and dance joyfully in worship to our King. Celebrate the diversity of tribes and languages of all who join together to proclaim the joy of Jesus’ birth.

 

Cheer when you drive by nativity displays in town, helping you remember the true reason for this Christmas season. You may even write out a note to thank them and place it in their letterbox. 

 

Watch a movie about the nativity of Jesus and ponder which of His names are represented in the film. Then discuss together what stood out to you this year that you may not have noticed before.

 

Take biscuits/cookies to your children’s ministry leader or Sunday school teacher, thanking them for sharing the Bread of Life with the children of the church.
