NBKIDS

NBKIDS parents be sure to join us this Sunday for service. This Sunday in NBKIDS at 9 and 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!

BOTTOM LINE: Nothing can stop God’s plans.
OBJECTIVE: Kids will learn that “God won’t let anything get in the way of his plan for us.”
KEY PASSAGE: Matthew 2:11-20, The Escape to Egypt

IN THE CAR: Ask your child what they learned about this week on the drive home:
The dough needs heat to become a cookie. A Christmas cookie isn’t a Christmas cookie
until they spend some time in the oven. Jesus had to experience some heat even at such
a young age when Herod tried to kill the new king. But God made sure nothing would
stop his plan to bring us a Savior. Matthew 2:11-20, The Escape to Egypt

HANGING OUT: Make this week’s lesson real: Bake some cookies with the kids. Emphasize to them that the cookies are NOT done until they are baked. Ask them how keeping hands out of the cookie dough, making sure they get baked, can remind us of how God protected His Son.

AT DINNER:Here are some great discussion starters:
- Why did Mary and Joseph flee to Egypt?
- How did God protect His son?
- Can anything stop God when He has a plan?

AT BEDTIME: Quiz your child on this week’s memory verse:
“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV)

PARENT TIME: What you need to know: How difficult is it to keep people (including yourself) from eating cookie dough before it is baked? There were powers that tried to stop Jesus from fulfilling His mission before it even started, but God made sure nothing would stand in the
way of His plans. This is not an easy story to read, especially with kids, but it’s part of the
Christmas story. It’s also a reminder that God is always in control!

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!

BOTTOM LINE: Jesus is the King of Kings.
OBJECTIVE: Kids will learn that “God sent Jesus to be our King and our Savior.”
KEY PASSAGE: Matthew 2:1-11, The Visit of the Magi

IN THE CAR: Ask your child what they learned about this week on the drive home:
A baker uses cookie cutters to give their cookies their shapes: stars, stockings, and
Christmas trees. The Christmas story really took shape when the Magi came and
presented the newborn King with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:1-11,
The Visit of the Magi

HANGING OUT: Talk with your kids about gifts they want to give to others. Ask them why they want to give a particular gift to someone. How does that fit them? Then ask them how the gifts of the wise men were perfect for Jesus.

AT DINNER: Here are some great discussion starters:
- What gifts did the wise men bring?
- Why were these gifts better suited to a king than a baby?
- What do these gifts tell us about Jesus?

AT BEDTIME: Quiz your child on this week’s memory verse: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV)

PARENT TIME: What you need to know: We all want to give gifts that are meaningful to the recipients. The wise men’s gifts tell us exactly who Jesus is. He’s no common baby. He is a King, the Son of God!
