    The Wise Men

    Hello, child of God! One of my favorite things to do each Christmas was to set out our family Nativity scene. I loved placing the characters in just the right spot, and I loved imagining what brought each of them to meet the baby Jesus. I want to tell you the story of how the wise men came to meet the baby King.

    David and Goliath

    Hello, child of God! Have you ever felt afraid before? What did you do to help yourself feel better? I want to tell you the story of young David. David felt called to do something really scary, but with God’s help, David was able to be brave. I wonder if you have had to be brave before. I wonder if you know that God is with you, too.

    Moses and the Burning Bush

    Hello, child of God! A long time ago, a man named Moses came across something very holy in an unexpected place. There, in the desert, he encountered God! I wonder if you have ever experienced a holy moment in an unexpected place. God promises us that God is with us, all around us, wherever we go. I hope you remember that God is always with you!

    Sarah and Abraham

    Hello, child of God! Have you ever hoped and wished for something really special? And felt like it would never come? Then you know that waiting can be HARD. Sarah and Abraham knew what it was like to wait... for a long time. They waited for years and years for the gift of a child. Finally, when it seemed like their dream would never come true, God made something amazing happen.

    Jonah and the Big Fish

    Hello, child of God! Jonah was a prophet who ran away from God. He set to sea and learned the hard way that one cannot run away from God! In the belly of the fish in the middle of the sea, God heard Jonah’s prayer and God still had a plan. When Jonah listened and followed God, he learned an important lesson that God’s love and forgiveness is for everyone, even the people he didn’t like very much.

    Who Is My Neighbor?

    Hello, child of God! One day, someone asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Instead of giving a quick and easy answer, Jesus told us an important story. It’s about a man on a journey who fell into trouble along the way. Help was found in the most unlikely person. Listen and discover who our neighbors truly are.

    The Boy Who Ran Away

    Hello, child of God! Have you ever been so mad that you wanted to run away? Jesus tells a story in the New Testament about a boy who was so unhappy that he did just that―he ran away from his home and from his daddy. Join me as we hear this tale and learn that God’s love is so big and so strong that even running away can’t break it.

    A Boy Shares His Lunch

    Hello, child of God! One day, lots of boys and girls and grownups followed Jesus out into the countryside to listen to him teach and preach. The day grew long, and the people grew hungry. There weren’t any grocery stores or restaurants around... besides, Jesus had a better idea anyway! Taking the gifts of a young boy, Jesus found a way to feed a multitude.
