WELCOME (3-5 min)
Hello, everyone! How are you doing? I’ll tell you how I’m doing... I’m beside myself thinking about the fact that Christmas is less than two weeks away! Did you hear that? Less than two weeks until Christmas!
Is anybody here excited about getting gifts? Could you tell us what you’re hoping to see under the Christmas tree? (Take a few short answers from as many students as possible.)
You may already know that the best Christmas gift ever was God’s Son, Jesus. He gives us real joy. So let’s all get up and celebrate that together!
