The children started by making a nativity scene from lolly sticks, then decorated some pretty star shaped tea light holders. You can see some below.
We thought about some of the journeys that people made that first Christmas – the shepherds having a very little way to go, and the wise men taking more than a year to get to their destination! Everyone who made a journey had heard a message from God and chose to respond to him, even though their journeys were not always easy.
We ended the session with a quick practice of the play we’ll be sharing in the nativity service!
