AT THE HOME // Vol 3 Issue 12
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
This holiday season I hope your homes are filled with laughter and lots of cuddles on the couch. Life during the holiday season can be busy and stressful, so be sure to make space and time for quality family time. Leaving space for downtime can help your family naturally bond and enjoy each others company in a natural and organic way. This can strengthen relationships with each other and show your children their personalities are enjoyable and fulfilling to the people around them. Think of ways your family can serve together this holiday season and bless others in your community. What a great time of year to lean in to your family, your community and soak in all that this time of year has to offer.

NO MESSY CHURCH THIS MONTH

WHAT we’re teaching +
At Christmas, gifts are all around us, but we know the holiday isn't about the toys-it's about the joy of Jesus' birth. We might experience joy from opening up gifts, but God gives us even greater joy through Jesus. In this 5-week series, kids will learn all about the joy Jesus brought into the world. They'll learn that Jesus is the savior God promised, how God sent Jesus at the perfect time, that Jesus brings joy to the world, and what it means to say Jesus is God's greatest gift.
