Merry Christmas!!

Yes it is that time of the year already.  This month will be packed with Christmas activities. This week we begin our Christmas journey with Mary.

From the Beginners Bible

The Angel's Secret

Gabriel was an angel.

He obeyed God.

Sometimes he took special news from God to people on Earth.

One day God sent Gabriel to a young lady.

Her name was Mary.

Gabriel went to Mary. 

He said, "Greetings! God is with you!"

Mary was afraid.

She wondered what he meant.

But Gabriel said, "Don not be afraid. God loves you. He is going

to give you a baby. You will name Him Jesus. He will be God's Son!"

Mary was surprised. 

"How can this be true?" she asked.

"Nothing is impossible with God," said Gabriel.

"I believe you," said Mary. "I will do 

whatever God wants."

Then Gabriel left Mary.

Here are a few of the activities planned for this week:
*Introducing our new color, number and shape
