Children’s Message on 12/21/2025 Today we’re talking about angels. But before we talk about angels, we need to talk about a very important word: message . 🌟 A message  is something someone wants you to know, or hear, or remember.

Each little square is like a person’s story, a family’s story, or a group’s story—a piece of their faith journey. When we bring all those stories together, they become one beautiful piece, just like we become one family in Christ. On top of this cloth, we place the bread and the cup—the meal Jes
