Christmas Programs to Involve Children in Your Christmas Celebrations

Based on the much-loved hymn, "God Loves Me Dearly," this service helps children share God's love for us through readings and songs. Four parts of the God's Love at Christmas theme are developed through the program:

• God Loved Me by Making a Promise
• God Loved Me by Sending Jesus
• God Loved Me by Dying and Rising for Me
• God Loves Me by Giving Me Life Forever

The program is built around the familiar account of the Christmas story found in Luke, and features brand new recordings of favorite hymns such as "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," "Away in a Manger," "Angels We Have Heard on High," and others.
