This 3:16 minute Children’s Message is based on Colossians 3:14 and designed for early elementary students (K–3rd grade).
Through simple, relatable examples, children learn that the message of Christmas does not end when decorations come down. Instead, the love of Jesus continues through everyday acts of kindness, helping, sharing, encouragement, and compassion.
Using the imagery of “putting on” love like clothing, this message helps children understand that faith is something we live out daily through the way we treat others.
Children will learn:
Christmas is more than one day
Love is something we practice
Small acts of kindness matter
Helping and sharing reflect Jesus’ love
This message encourages children to carry the spirit of Christmas into everyday life through practical, age-appropriate actions.
Ideal for:
The Christmas season
The Sunday after Christmas
Lessons on kindness and generosity
Everyday faith formation
