Matthew 18:15-20

This week we ADVENT-ure in the story of Mary being chosen by God to be Jesus’s mom! This story can be found in Luke 1:26-38.

ASK: Let's talk about it together!

This is a very special story! What stuck out to you most?
How would you react if you were Mary? Would you be scared to see the angel? Would you be excited?
Mary was chosen by God! How does it feel to be chosen for something? How did it feel? What happened?

ACTIVITY: Let's jump into this Outdoor (or, Indoor) Challenge!

Have you ever watched A Charlie Brown Christmas from 1965? It is the story of Charlie Brown and his friends looking for the perfect tree – and finding an imperfect one! It turns out, even the most imperfect tree did perfectly – and was the perfect tree for the job. This relates to Mary! She may have been imperfect (like all of us), but she was chosen by God for a very big job – just like we are! We are called by God to share the good news about Jesus every day. Watch the movie together if you can, or look at Christmas trees either in person or online. What makes each one special? Then, talk together about what makes each one of us special.
