December Week 2: Jesus was Born to Save Us!

Hey NewHope Families, 

Thank you for joining us for another amazing Sunday! Today we continued through the story of Christmas and learned about when Jesus was born. Your child learned that Jesus was born because God was keeping a promise to the whole world. God promised that He was going to send a savior. Some people thought that this savior would come like a king, or a warrior, or a superhero, but Jesus came as a little baby, born in a stable filled with animals (Luke 2:1-7). But Jesus didn’t stay a baby, He grew into a man and made a way for us to have a forever friendship with God.

With that, today we celebrated Salvation Sunday! On this special Sunday, we give a clear gospel presentation to all of our elementary classrooms, explaining what Jesus did on the cross and what this means for their life. This is in the hope that children take the next step in their faith journey, to ask Jesus to be the leader of their life. 

This is in partnership with the conversations you are already having at home with your child. Introducing your child to Jesus is one of the greatest joys and responsibilities of being a parent. If you are looking for some helpful tips on how to start a gospel conversation at home, CLICK HERE to check out this helpful resource. This week, see how you can begin to insert gospel truths into your conversations with your child. This may look like reminding your 4 year old that Jesus loves them, or teaching your 8 year old what God’s forgiveness looks like. Our team is praying for you and cheering you on!
