They will be joined by the bell choir and players from the local symphonies. Lessons and Carols tells the story of the coming of Christ from the first prophecy in Genesis to John’s announcement of the incarnation with scripture and familiar carols and songs of the season.
If you have thought about singing in the choir but are unsure if you have time for a long commitment, consider joining them for this program.

Garden Kids Garden Kids Garden Kids Garden Kids Life App - Honor - Letting someone know you see how valuable
they really are.
Memory Verse - “Love one another deeply. Honor others more
than yourselves.” Romans 12:10, NIrV
Basic Truths - I should treat others the way I want to be treated
& I can trust God no matter what.
“Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in
your power to help them.” Proverbs 3:27 When David showed
up to deliver lunch to his brothers and heard Goliath’s threats,
he stepped up to help. Everyone around him was tempted to
count him out. When you read the story, you can see why. David
wasn’t a mighty warrior armed for battle. He was a young shepherd boy with a slingshot. But King Saul
decided to give him a chance. And God used David, the kid everyone counted out, to defeat a nine-foot
giant.
What if you’d been on that battlefield, too afraid to step up to fight? What if it had been your younger
brother who chose to face that giant with courage? Would you have reacted the way David’s brothers
reacted? When you’re tempted to count someone out or overlook them this week, choose honor instead.
Write the first three words of today’s verse (DON’T HOLD BACK) on a sticky note in large block letters.
Stick the note on your fridge or bathroom mirror as a reminder to show honor to others, especially
those who might be overlooked.
Tell God about a time this week when you know you overlooked someone. Ask for His help next time so
that you don’t hold back when it comes to honoring others.
Bottom Lines for the Month: 1. Honor others by giving them a chance. 2. Honor others by putting them
first. 3. Honor others by putting them first. 4. Honor God by giving Him credit.
