SERIES OVERVIEW
The Sweetest Christmas Ever
Idea: Making Christmas cookies is a sweet labor of love. These sweet treats require the finest ingredients, shaped just right, baked properly, and iced to perfection – but they are worth the effort. God moved heaven and earth to give us a Savior. He brought everything together perfectly with the birth of Jesus – the sweetest gift God could ever give us.
Memory Verse: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV)

Dec 11th: Cookie Cutter
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11, The Visit of the Magi
