Friday, Dec. 21 -- Longest Night/Blue Christmas Service

The Christmas season is often marked by expressions of joy, excitement, and happiness. However, this time of joy and expectation can often overshadow the pain and hurt many experience during this season, when the world's merriment puts their grief and sorrow in stark relief. Traditionally centered on the Winter Solstice [the longest night of the year], this service will provide time and space, through song and readings from Scripture, for God’s people to reflect on the pain this time of the year can invoke, while also remembering that God is there and that light will soon return.

6 p.m. meal in Community Ed Building
7 p.m. service in Sanctuary

Monday, Dec. 24 -- Candlelight Christmas Eve Service
7 p.m. in Sanctuary


LINCOLN CHRISTIAN CHURCH

KIDS WORSHIP—December 2018


During the month of December, during Kids Worship we will learn that Christmas means a lot more than the presents that are under the tree! Kids will discover that the events of Christmas involved a lot of “telling.” Prophets told, the angels told, the innkeeper undoubtedly told, and shepherds as well had a lot to tell. Through this series, we will find that we can continue to tell the story of Jesus’ birth and that our “telling” still has an impact on the world today!

If you would like to encourage and review this study with your child, the weekly topics are listed below (the weekly point is listed in italics). During this month we will focus on a key verse from Luke 2:11, “The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the
Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”

• Prophets Foretell Jesus’ Birth. Isaiah 7:14; 9:6–7;
We put our hope in Jesus.
• An Angel Appears to Mary and Joseph. Matthew 1:18–25; Luke 1:26–38;
We believe Jesus is God’s Son.
• Jesus is Born in Bethlehem. Luke 2:1–7.
We receive God’s greatest gift.
• Shepherds Learn That Jesus is Born. Luke 2:8–20;
We tell others about Jesus.
• Wise Men Visit Jesus. Matthew 2:1–12;
We seek Jesus every day.
