A Children's Message About the Christmas Story and God's Love for Everyone

What was that very first Christmas really like?

Long ago, ordinary people became part of an extraordinary story. Mary received surprising news from an angel. Joseph chose to care for Mary and her baby. And shepherds watching their sheep heard wonderful news that Jesus had been born!

In The First Christmas, children journey through the events surrounding Jesus' birth, discovering how God chose ordinary people to be part of something wonderful.

Beginning with a family gathering to watch the Christmas story, this Children's Message takes children back to Bethlehem and reminds them that the good news of Jesus' birth wasn't only for people long ago.

It's for everyone. Even us. Even now.

Through beautiful illustrations and gentle storytelling, children discover that they don't have to be famous or accomplish something extraordinary to matter to God.

They already do.

Perfect for Christmas Eve worship, Children's Church, Sunday School, Christmas celebrations, or families at home.
