Our church hosted an event for the children called "One Starry Night" which was a set up to resemble Bethlehem on the night Jesus was born. We entered at the City Gate and were given money in order to enter the different areas of the city. During the night a shepherd told everyone about the star she had seen in the sky that was over the place where the Christ child was born.
They made and stuffed pillow cases.
They learned about toy making in Biblical times.
They crafted a baby out of clay and wrapped him in swaddling clothes.
Even Daddy took part as one of the wise men.
What a wonderful way to help us realize that the significance of Christmas is that the Christ child was born. The one who was promised for hundreds of years had finally come. He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and He willingly became a tiny baby so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for each one of us. Glory to God in the Highest!
