Happy Medley

We find that a bible-bop is a great way of moving from the games into
the worship. Children prefer this to singing and this will draw them to
the worship area. We suggest using it again after tea to draw people
back to the worship area.

years is to gradually move to more and more interactive prayers to

Craft
Each month we
suggest a couple of crafts. One is a corporate activity to produce
something to put up on the wall or in the church to show that children
are present, active and part of the church. The other is individual for
them to make something and take it home.
|
This month's corporate activity is to
make a crib scene using peg figures. There are some hints at Pinterest
You could also make a stable from a shoe box and gluing bits of straw
to it. Hopefully it can be displayed in the church somewhere.
For the cooking craft it would be good to make star biscuits. Star
cutters are easily found. If done as the first craft they should be
ready for tea time. Another
option might be to make them ahead of time and allow the children to
decorate them with icing and silver balls etc.
You could also turn this into a Christingle service by making Christingles as
the craft

Tea
We
have found that sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, pizza, jelly and ice
cream make a really good Sunday tea. Maybe this week some Christmas
treats (like mince pies) could also be included.
