NBKIDS

NBKIDS parents be sure to join us this Sunday for service. This Sunday in NBKIDS at 9 and 11 we will be talking about The Visit of the magi Matthew 2:1-11. Please make sure you talk to your kids about it afterwards! Make sure your kids attend!

New Beginnings Church ABQ 4770 Montgomery Blvd ABQ NM 87109. Below is some info on what we went over and the short video we watched to accompany our lesson. Watch with your kids and partner with us to teach your kids the Bible!

IN THE CAR: On the drive home, ask your child what he learned about this week: People used to use paper maps to lead them on long road trips. Now you're more likely to use a GPS to guide you on your way. Years ago, the Magi used a new star to guide them to the Savior of the world. If we seek Him, God will always show us the way to go. Matthew 2:1-11, The Visit of the Magi

HANGING OUT: Make this week's lesson real: Talk about how the Magi gave gifts to Jesus just because they knew He was special. They did not expect anything else in return. With your kids, pick out a few people to give gifts to without any expectation of getting anything in return. Together, experience the joy that comes from giving.

AT DINNER: - Here are some great discussion starters:
- How were the Magi guided on their journey to meet Jesus?
- What happened when the Magi stopped in Jerusalem?
- What are some ways that we can follow after Jesus?

AT BEDTIME: Quiz your child on this week's memory verse: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11 (NIRV)

PARENT TIME: What you need to know: The Magi were most likely not Jewish, so they might not have understood all the implications of Jesus' birth. But they were wise enough to understand that a new star in the sky was divinely orchestrated. . . and worth pursuing. This week, focus on your own pursuit of God and His will. Your kids will hunger and thirst for Jesus when they see that behavior exhibited in their parents.

NBKIDS parents this evening we will have service at 7 PM. New Beginnings Church ABQ 4770 Montgomery Blvd Abq NM 87109. We only watch a small part of this video, if your kids want to watch the whole thing go ahead and share it with them!
During this series, kids will learn that God can help them change the way they think. He wants to help them catch, check, and change their thoughts! We’re going to take our creativity to the extreme to learn how to change the way we think!

WEEK 8 Need to Know: I Can Choose What I Think About
Bible Story: Naaman
Bible Reference: 2 Kings 5

As your child watches this video, we want them to have fun and learn about Jesus on their level. We love to bring stories from the Bible to life because we want your child to know that it is the most amazing book that’s ever been written!

NBKIDS parents be sure to join us this Sunday for service. This Sunday in NBKIDS at 9 and 11 we will be talking about An angel visiting Joseph. Matthew 1 18-25. Please make sure you talk to your kids about it afterwards! Make sure your kids attend!

5 Simple Ways to Make This Week's Lesson Stick

IN THE CAR:

On the drive home, ask your children what they learned about this week:

An angel visited Joseph to tell him that he should marry Mary, who would give birth to a Savior. When Jesus came to Earth, God the Father provided him with a family to give Him love and to show love. Our families are a gift from God. Matthew 1:18-25, An Angel Visits Joseph

HANGING OUT: Make this week's lesson real:

Take a “family road trip” on foot. Walk through the neighborhood and check out the different holiday displays people have put up through the neighborhood. Consider each of the families living in your neighborhood (whether you know them or not). Talk about the gift of God that is family.

AT DINNER: Here are some great discussion starters:

- Why did Joseph think about ending his relationship with Mary?

- What happened to Joseph that made him change his mind?

- What is one thing about your family that you are thankful for?

AT BEDTIME: Quiz your child on this week's memory verse:

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11 (NIRV)

PARENT TIME: What you need to know:

God created families. Each of us needs to belong. To be loved and cared for. To know that we are not alone in this world. Take an inventory of how well you are doing at fulfilling these tasks for your kids. What are your strengths and where is there room for improvement? The gift your kids need most this Christmas is a strong, loving family.
