Christmas: New Junior High Series

Junior highers love Christmas, but they don’t always see how the Christmas story connects to their world right now. What does a baby born 2,000 years ago have to do with stress, friendships, or hope today? This 4-week junior high series shows how the events surrounding Jesus’s birth have a profound effect on our lives today. Students will see that: God always keeps His promises. Jesus brings light and hope when life feels dark. Everyone is invited to know and follow Him. Jesus came to save us and make things right.
