Journey to Bethlehem Christmas Curriculum - Follow The Star To Bethlehem This Christmas
Use this fun Christmas Curriculum for kids to look at the journey of 4 different characters who traveled to Bethlehem for the very first Christmas. Kids will look at the journeys that Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise Men took to get to Bethlehem. But, as far as they all traveled, kids will see that Jesus traveled the farthest and gave up the most to be in Bethlehem on that first Christmas.
God brought very different people together in Bethlehem to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Little ones will learn that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas.
