You’ve scanned the code, now let’s explore,
What each friend’s activity has in store!
A playful task, a thoughtful deed,
A moment of joy or a chance to lead.

Craft, create, or lend a hand,
Follow the path each friend has planned.
Sing a song or share some cheer,
Spread the love this time of year.

When the fun is done, before you part,
Take a moment to still your heart.
Whisper a prayer, short or long,
A gift to God where all belong.

The shepherds were so overjoyed that they ran to see the newborn Savior. What do you do when you’re this excited? Sing? Dance? Clap? Jump up and down? Watch the video to hear a song that just might get you singing, dancing, and clapping as you celebrate Jesus, who came for you too!

Sometimes, writing down your thoughts and inviting others to pray over them can be incredibly meaningful. Lifting each other’s concerns to Jesus is a gift He deeply treasures!

Materials:

  • A container or jar (decorate it if you’d like!)   

  • Popsicle sticks or small pieces of paper

  • Markers or pens


Directions:

  • Choose a Container: Grab a jar, can, or bucket to hold your prayers. You can decorate it with stickers, paint, or ribbon to make it special!

  • Prepare Your Writing Tools: Use popsicle sticks or small slips of paper as your “prayer notes.”

  • Write It Down: Think about the thoughts, feelings, or concerns that are on your heart—even the messy ones! Write each one on a stick or piece of paper.

  • Place Them in the Pail: Drop your prayer notes into the container as a way of giving them to Jesus.
