Kids and Christmas

NCC float for the Parade of Lights - 2019

We often set up nativity scenes in our homes at Christmas, and our parade float was just such a scene. Our goal is to bring Christ back into Christmas - personally and communally.

These nativity scenes are not mere decorations but return our focus to the Person behind Christmas. We work to help our children especially to see and know the real reason / the real celebration behind Christmas. Instead of coming to a Christmas tree for presents, we come to a manger in a stable; instead of seeking gifts from others, we come bearing gifts as we worship the coming / the humanity / the service of Jesus Christ our Messiah and Lord.

One of the ways we work to bring ourselves back to the manger is the Sunday School Christmas Program. It is not only to get our kids on stage but to bring their focus to the manger instead of the tree. Please join us this Sunday as our Sunday School helps us find the missing baby Jesus.
