ADVENT SPECIALS!   ADVENT SPECIALS!  ADVENT SPECIALS!

 

Are you tired about being consumed with the excesses of the "holiday period"?  Do you and your family see so little of Christ in Christmas that you sometimes wonder how your celebration of Christmas is any different than your unbelieving neighbors?  Make this Christmas a special time of looking forward to the celebration of the Advent of Christ and the Incarnation of God into man.  But how?

Children's Ministry International (CMI) has introduced two Advent Series; one for your church, which has four presentations of the coming Advent of the Messiah and the second for your family, which have symbols and stories for every day of Advent.  We also have a special coloring book with all the Advent symbols.

1.  "Redeeming Christmas"

Director of Children's Ministry International, Brad Winsted has a thoughtful article reprinted for your edification on how to reclaim Christ in Christmas.  Its easy to get swept up in all the garishness of the holidays and miss Christ completely.  In this article there are many "helps" on keeping Christmas Christ-centered.

 

 

2.  Advent in your church.

CMI has a great four lesson workbook, "Jesus Family Tree....the Story of Redemption" for your Sunday School program.  For just $25.00 you can fill the four weeks prior to Christmas with great Bible lessons of the coming Christ.  This is a lot more than an "Advent Candle" as you get into the biblical stories of the prediction and requirement for the Messiah's coming to earth, first told to Eve in the Garden of Eden after the Fall. 

 

There are colorful symbols to make a "Jesse Tree" (out of the root of King David's family/Jesse was Christ's lineage) in your classroom.  Your kids will have a fun and instructional time in learning about how Christ's coming (or Advent) is clearly and repeatedly found throughout the Old Testament.

CMI has also introduced a "Jesse Tree" coloring book ($3.00 each) to help the children remember the Bible Stories that point to Jesus' birth.

Remember all of CMI's lessons are reusable, non-dated (take as long as you want to teach them) and multi-aged (kids from five to 12 will enjoy these lessons).  We've had some churches that have liked this approach to Jesus' coming that they've extended the adaptable lessons through January.

3.  Advent in your home.

CMI introduces its Family Advent Jesse Tree Lessons  for the home.  You can make this Christmas Advent truly memorable and educational for your family.  Every day (morning or evening) read the Bible lesson that points to Christ before his birth.  Then place the "Jesse Tree" symbol on your tree.  We've expanded on our original "Jesus Family Tree...the Story of Redemption", to have a lesson and a colorful symbol for every day of Advent.  Each day of Advent your children will see how the Old Testament spoke often and clearly of the coming Messiah.  Now you can have a "new family tradition" around the celebration of the birth of Christ and all for just $29.00.

CMI has a "Jesse Tree" coloring book ($3.00 each) to help your children remember the Bible Stories pointing to Jesus' birth.

The family devotion series is reusable and can be expanded beyond Advent if your family wants to go deeper.

HEROES OF THE REFORMATION

Did you know that there is a great alternative to Halloween for Christians?  October 31st was the day that Martin Luther pinned the 95 thesis on the Wittenburg Door in Germany in 1517 igniting the Protestant Reformation throughout the world.  

Many of our most cherished beliefs that we Bible-believing Christians hold to such as Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, By Grace Alone and to God Alone Be the Glory were rejuvenated by the Reformation.  Please go to the article on CMI's web page "Reformation Day at Your Church" for more details.  The celebration of Reformation Day at your church and in your home can be a God-honoring way to shun the satanic excesses of Halloween.

Children's Ministry International has had a study book on the Reformation available for some time  called, "HEROES OF THE REFORMATION".  We updated the book adding 6 Reformers and improving the crafts and appendices.  Now every major Reformer from John Wycliffe through Jonathan Edwards has a visualized story emphasizing his role in the Protestant Reformation.   You'll love learning about the lives of John Hus, John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Knox, John Bunyan and others.  

Like all of CMI's materials this book is reusable, non-dated, non-graded, and for multiple ages.  It is written for children from kindergarten through 6th grade although we have found that adults love it too! 

This book will really spark up a Reformation Party with pictures and stories.  There are lots of ideas about how to incorporate this book in your celebration of Reformation Day at your church at the end of October.  In the appendices we have given lots of information about the satanic origins of Halloween and how we can redeem this devilish night in a celebration of our Reformation Heritage.

 

"HEROES OF THE REFORMATION"  study guide and teaching book are only $17.50

HOME FROM KUALA LUMPUR Celebrates 25th year of Mission Conferences:

Ten CMI teachers got back from Kuala Lumpur in late September after teaching around 40 missionary children ages 3 to 11 from Series O: "JESUS IS COMING AGAIN".  This was a Mission to the World (missionary arm of the PCA) regional conference. Many of the missionary parents thought our weekend assembly was the best yet as the children sang songs, recited questions and answers (from the Children's Catechism) and Scripture.

CMI has been teaching missionary children for 25 years at various mission's conferences.  By far Mission to the World has been the primary mission agency although CMI has also taught missionary children at Arab World Ministries (AWM), Frontiers and Wycliffe overseas missionary conferences and retreats.

Thanks for your prayers and support for this trip.

For the children,

Brad Winsted, Director
