SpringTown & Treehouse (Preschool)
This was our third week pretending to be the live studio audience of the Reindeer Radio Show where we sing along with some cool Christmas tunes and learn lots of good news from God’s word.
Today’s Headline (Need to Know): God Can Do Anything!
All kids love to get things in the mail. The mail is always full of messages. But in the days of the Bible there were no newspapers or mail men to bring people messages. Sometimes God would use angels to send messages to people. Today we learned about an angel’s message to a young girl named Mary in Luke 1:26-38.
God sent an angel named Gabriel to bring good news to Mary. Gabriel told Mary about God’s wonderful plan for her life! He told her that she was going to have a baby boy! Mary’s baby boy would be God’s son and his name would be Jesus. Jesus would be God’s gift to the whole world to save us from doing wrong things and fix our friendship with God. Mary thought it would be impossible for her to have a baby, but Gabriel told her that God Can Do Anything!
One of the best things you can do for your child is to read the Bible to him or her each day. As you read about the amazing things God has done and promises to do, ask your child if they are able to do those things, and remind them that God Can Do Anything!
Keep working with your child to memorize this series’ Remember Verse. Here is the verse and the motions we do along with it:

This was our third week as the live studio audience of the North Pole News where the headlines are hilarious and the news is just what we Need to Know.
Today’s Headline (Need to Know): Nothing is Impossible for God!
Do you know if it will snow on Christmas in 700 years? Only God knows what is going to happen in the future, and He often used people in the Bible called prophets and angels to fill us in on His plans.
God sent messages to us through a prophet named Isaiah. In Isaiah 7:14 we learned that God was going to give us a sign about how He would send Jesus to save us: A girl who has never been married or had a baby will become pregnant.
Seven hundred years later in Luke 1:26-38, another one of God’s messengers, an angel named Gabriel, showed up at Mary’s home just before her wedding. Gabriel told Mary that she was going to have a son—God’s son! Her son’s name would be Jesus, and God would make him king forever! Mary didn’t know how she was going to have a baby since she was not married and had never had a baby, but Gabriel told her that Nothing is Impossible for God!
Encourage your child to read the Bible each day. This is where he or she will see that Nothing is Impossible for God.
To help your child remember that Nothing is Impossible for God help him or her memorize this series’ Memory Verse. Here is the first part of the verse we have been learning:
