Christmas Gifts

Dear Parents,
As the Christmas season approaches and we begin to focus deeply on the gift that God gave us through His Son Jesus, I am reminded again of the blessing it is to be a part of watching your children grow in their love for Him. Over the last several months in Children’s Ministry we have been digging in to scripture like never before. What a blast it is to see your kids discovering their bible in new ways, looking up scripture together in their small groups, and discussing scripture with their leaders. In doing so, we have noticed that many children are struggling to find their verses due to the type of bible they have. Story bibles are very common among young children and easy to read, yet they are not complete with scripture reference and study guides.
This Christmas as you shop for your children I wanted to let you know that a new bible would make a perfect gift. The kids love checking out each others new bibles and they have been so faithful at bringing them in. What great affirmation for them to receive a new bible of their very own that they can actually study from, highlight passages, connect Old Testament prophesy to fulfilled prophesy in the New Testament, and look up their verses. I have listed a couple bibles below that are very kid-friendly and practical for study. I am happy to answer any questions you have regarding bible choices as well.

The Superheroes Bible/NIrV $19.97

The Kids Study Bible/NIrV $19.97-27.00

The Adventure Bible/NIV $26.99

The New Adventure Bible/NIV $19.97

God’s Word for Girls/ GWT $19.97
God’s Word for Boys


*These are just a few of the many available and they can all be found at Hages or most any Christian Book Store.
The bibles listed above are geared for ages 8-12.
*Prices were taken from Hages.


Again, it is such a blessing to be a part of the life change happening in our Children’s Ministry.
This Christmas, may you experience all of the awe, wonder and joy of Christ’s birth and the blessing of the life He offers us.

Serving Him and His Children,
