We sing in church Sunday, November 20th, at the beginning of the 10:30 service. The children will meet at the back of the church in the narthex. Then after singing, they will come and sit with you.
Student of the Week: Evelyn
Tuesday’s Memory: Christmas parts
Winston: Not only is the Christmas tree more than just a pretty
decoration, but it is also a symbol that tells God’s story of salvation.
Nora: Many years ago, two trees were sometimes placed in the church at
Christmastime.
Piper: The first tree reminds us of our sins,
Easton:
for it was through a tree in the Garden of Eden
that sin came into the world.
Kaelyn: God said to Adam and Eve, “You may surely eat of every tree of
the garden,
Jane: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat,
Calvin: for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis
2:16–17).
Willow: But Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit of that
tree.
Amelia E.: The red ornaments on the tree remind us of that fruit and the
first sin.
Ryker: Since Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, everyone is born a
sinner and is doomed for death.
Belle: “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and
death through sin,
Taylor: and so death spread to all men because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).
Hannah: The base of the tree is draped in red to remind us that our sins
are like scarlet and red as crimson (Isaiah 1:18).
Evelyn: There are no lights, because this tree symbolizes the dark night
of sin.
Laiken: But Jesus came and took away the dark night of sin!
Beckem: “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree,
Amelia G.: that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.
Roman: By His wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
Emerson: The evergreen tree reminds us of the tree that Jesus died
on,
Graham: because the tip of each branch is in the shape of a cross (hold
up a branch for congregation to see).
Annabelle: Christmas trees are green all year round, which reminds us of the
eternal life we have with Jesus.
Henry: Even the shape of evergreen trees reminds us of Jesus. They point
straight up to heaven!
Delaney: The Christmas tree is a
symbol of salvation!
