The Christmas Story...

We hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year!  Here is the Christmas story through the eyes of kindergarten...

“Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”

But Mary was greatly troubled at the saying...

And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. For nothing will be impossible with God.” 

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 

Joseph went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a 

child.

...there was no room for them in the inn.

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. 

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger...

And there were shepherds living out in the fields near by, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people...

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,  “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” 

...the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

...behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem.

saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? 

For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 

…assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 

When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 

 

 they saw the child... and they fell down and worshiped him.
