Are you looking for a simple, easy to manage Christmas item for children to present in your family service, school assembly, etc.?
If so, we have a free colourful printable that even young children can help you present. (There is also a PowerPoint with the same graphics as an alternative visual aid.)
Symbols of Christmas highlights 6 things that we usually associate with Christmas, and readers (or one reader) point to the real meaning of Christmas – the birth of Jesus Christ – with four spoken lines for each picture.
Here are the Symbols of Christmas verses
[ Reader 1] Christmas GIFTS, they bring us pleasure How we love them, every one. But God gave beyond all measure When He gave His only Son. [Reader 2] Christmas STARS they glow and twinkle. They each have a message, too. For the God who made the heavens Placed them there for me and you. [Reader 3] Christmas BELLS ring very clearly, As they call us all to pray. Let us give our praise to Jesus Worship Him this happy day. [Reader 4] Christmas LIGHTS so softly shining Shed their rays throughout the night. They remind us of the Saviour, He alone is Heaven's true Light [Reader 5] Christmas MUSIC, carol singing, Songs of praise and joy go forth, Telling out the wondrous story Of the Saviour's promised birth. [Reader 6 and ALL Readers together] Christmas symbols, none so precious As God's great and holy WORD. Let us stop and think about it For it tells of Christ the Lord. Author unknown

I am going to use for Children meeting on the 23rd in Japan.
Thank you.
Yuki Williams
Thanks for getting in touch Yuki. It is such an encouragement to us to know you are using the material in your children’s meeting in Japan. We can never forget your time in Edinburgh with Stephen. May God bless you both in all your work for him, and may he meet your every need.
Amazing Lin and Catherine, bless you both with your ongoing dedicated ministry xx
Thanks, Cathy, for those words of encouragement. We are still pressing on! It seems a long time since we were together with you in the work of God, but we still think of you and thank God for every memory of our times together. May God bless you and continue to make you a blessing to all you meet.
