CHRISTMAS: JESUS UNWRAPPED
aim To have some Christmas fun! To think about how the nativity story was actually a lot messier than we often portray it. To think about how Jesus came to earth not to avoid our mess but to get completely involved in it.

DESCRIPTION
This session unwraps the true meaning of Christmas. It looks at how the birth of a baby boy in a faraway country is still relevant to us now. Jesus Unwrapped takes a closer look behind the nativity story that's plastered all over cards, TV and shop windows; about what it all REALLY means and provides an opportunity for young people to respond to Jesus.
Dear God; thank you for coming to Earth. Thank you that you didn’t come avoiding our mess, but came right in the midst of it. Help us realise that the nativity story was a challenging messy story that you arrived in the middle of, and you want to arrive in the middle of our mess today. Amen
