The Covenant: Messengers of the Covenant Week 2

This week we are challenging you to get in the Christmas spirit early!  So many of the familiar Christmas carols we know and love use world from old testament prophecies!

Visit this link to read/listen to the story together as a family.  At certain places throughout the story, it gives you the opportunity to "sing-a-long" with some traditional Christmas carols.

Be sure to talk about how Jesus' birth was just the beginning of how God was going to fulfill The Covenant!

The Covenant: Messengers of the Covenant Week 1

This unit focuses on the old testament prophets who foretold about Christ as the fulfillment of The Covenant.  This is a difficult concept for most young children (and even some of the older ones!).  We will be using the following clips in our openings, but thought you might like to revisit them at home during the unit.  These video clips come from a great video series called "What's in the Bible?"  If you haven't seen any of this series, you should definitely check it out!
