Preparing Your Family for Christmas

Have you thought about what you will teach your child about this Christmas season? This website has an excellent advent Bible study the whole family can do together each day. It follows the inductive Bible study method, which allows kids to mark key words and answer questions straight from Bible passages. Even the littlest ones can help answer the questions as you ask them aloud. This study is so great that I am incorporating it into my personal quiet time for the month of December.

Our Greatest Gift

This month we are talking about cooperation: working together to do more together than you can do alone. Your child is taking home a T-shirt today that he or she decorated to wear this month to spread the word about our mission project. For Christmas, all of LifeSong Church will be participating in the “Greatest Gift” campaign, where each of us pledges to make our greatest Christmas gift be the gift we give back to God. The kids here at PowerHouse will be doing their part by contributing to a project by Water4Life and Shattering Darkness, a missions partner of LifeSong Church. When we heard about this project to provide clean drinking water to children and their families in Burkina Faso, Africa, we knew we wanted to be involved!

No one person can supply all the money needed to drill wells for all the villages in Africa that need them—it’s an undoable task! So this month, we are going to work together to raise as much money as we can toward drilling wells for people in Africa. Every $10 we raise helps one more person have clean drinking water. For more information, you can go to www.ShatteringDarkness.org.

We are asking you to help your child come up with ideas about how they can raise money to be a part of giving back to others. Maybe you can brainstorm ways the entire family can help. Anything you come up with together will make an impression on your child and can help him or her understand that God wants us to work together—because sometimes He wants to do something big and miraculous through us.

Our goal as a group is to raise $200 by December 20th. This will be a huge step toward drilling a well in Africa; our contribution would bring fresh water to approximately 20 people in areas where people must travel up to two miles just for clean drinking water.
