Come Along, Christmas

Session 3 – The wonderful wise men followed the star

Church-run toddler groups can make the most of their greatest opportunity in the year to introduce guests to Jesus by using these three sessions in the run up to Christmas. 

• Session 1 – Ordinary Mary, ordinary Joseph and their amazing baby
• Session 2 – The simple shepherds met the special baby
• Session 3 – The wonderful wise men followed the star

Come Along, Christmas visuals

This hands-on experience allows families who wouldn’t come to a church service to engage with the characters of Mary, Joseph and the shepherds and explore how the birth of Jesus offers ordinary people an extraordinary encounter with the God who welcomes them. It’s ideal for schools and community outreach.

Visuals

This service is for everyone or all ages, including those who wouldn’t normally attend church. It uses the story of Mary, Joseph and the shepherds to show how the birth of Jesus offers ordinary people an extraordinary encounter with the God who welcomes them. Our outline can be adapted to suit your setting and time limit, and includes suggestions for tailoring it to provide a service exclusively for families with toddlers.
