II. Song: (To the tune of "Jesus Loves Me")
"Happy birthday Jesus!
I'm so glad it's Christmas!
All the tinsel and the lights,
All the presents are so nice.
But, the real gift is You,
Thank you God, we know it's true!
Happy birthday Jesus!
Jesus, we love you!"
III. Read, God Promised Us a Savior, by Matthew W. Welser (Arch Books.)
IV. Bible Verse Bracelets: Luke 2:11
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord."
(Print out, on a brightly-colored sheet of paper, today's verse repeated down the page. Cut between each verse so that you have 10-15 strips, each with the verse printed on it. Ask the children to form a line, and using tape to stick the ends together, wrap a "Bible Verse Bracelet" round each little wrist. Some children do not want to wear it; in that case, hand it to them and tell them to use the verse as a bookmark. The children love these, and come to expect them at each session! The verses also find their way home to parents and siblings, and help to spread the news about that day's storytime.)
