Today our Minister, Adrienne came to tell us the Christmas story.
In a little town of Bethlehem lived Mary, Mary was looking forward to getting married.
One day an angel came to visit her and said, ‘Don’t be afraid God has chosen you for something very special, you are going to have a baby called Jesus. He is the son of God.’
When Joseph heard the news he was worried, the angel spoke to Joseph in a dream. ‘Don’t be afraid, take care of Mary. She is going to give birth to the son of God and he will bring many blessings.’ Joseph did as he was told.
They went to Bethlehem and the town was very busy. The only place they could find to live was with the animals. Mary gave birth to baby Jesus and wrapped him in swaddling clothes.
The angels spoke to the shepherds, ‘Don’t be afraid, the son of God has arrived.’
Far away some wise men saw a star in the sky. It’s a sign a new king has been born and we must go to visit him. They took gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. These were special gifts were for the king.
