LESSON 5 “Jesus Christ Is the Son of Heavenly Father” (found HERE).
POSTER ACTIVITY – Jesus and Heavenly Father Poster
1. Print or copy the activity poster to color.
2. Talk about poster, saying, “Jesus Christ is Heavenly Father’s Son.” Jesus loves Heavenly Father and obeys Him just like we obey our parents. We love Jesus and Heavenly Father.
• Say, “As a baby, Jesus was born to an earthly mother, Mary, yet He was Heavenly Father’s real Son. In the manger where He lay, you could find a cow, donkey, and sheep. Shepherds came to see Him, and wise men brought Him gifts. Many had waited a long time for Jesus to come.”
THOUGHT TREAT: Follow-that-star cookie. Make sugar cookie dough and cut into star shapes, then bake and frost. Tell children that a new star shown bright over the manger that special night to tell the shepherds and wise men where to find the baby Jesus.
