WEEK 5 LESSON: December 29, 2024
G2K: Everyone is invited to worship Jesus!
Memory Verse: Luke 1:46,47 - “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
Bible Lesson: The Magi Visit Jesus: Matthew 2:1-12; Psalm 148
WEEKLY CHALLENGE: This week, we talked about how EVERYONE is invited to worship Jesus! Jesus brings joy to the whole world, including the fish, the ocean, the birds, the sky, the weather, the animals, the mountains, the trees-everything! All of creation, including you and me, are invited to worship God, not just for making all these good things but for giving us Jesus! To reinforce this lesson, use this activity.
Instructions: For this activity, print the “star invitation” printable on cardstock paper (yellow, if possible) and have your kids cut out the triangle. Then, have them fold along the dotted lines. Check out this tutorial for instructions on how to fold the paper into a star. On the inside, have them write or draw a picture for the person they want to invite, and let them decorate the star with glitter glue and gem stickers. Encourage your kids to create as many invites as they’d like!
Just like the bright star pointed the way to Jesus for the Magi, we can be the stars that point others to Jesus, too. Use this card to invite a friend or a relative to church. Everyone is invited to worship Jesus!
FAMILY TIME: Use these questions to start a conversation with your children about this week’s lesson.
Read Psalm 148:5. How do you imagine that parts of God’s creation like the stars, the mountains, and the animals praise God?
What are ways you can worship Jesus?
What can we do to let more people know they are invited to worship Jesus with us?
