Today, we're talking about Mary and Elizabeth! After Gabriel told Mary she would give birth to Jesus, she went straight to see her cousin Elizabeth. Gabriel had also told Elizabeth the she would have a baby, so Mary spent some time with her. As soon as Elizabeth saw Mary, she broke out into song! The Holy Spirit told her that Mary was going to have a very special baby. Mary and Elizabeth spent a couple of months together, encouraging each others. It's wonderful to have friends you can rely on, isn't it!
Since it's Friday, we hope you'll take some time this weekend to read this story from the Bible and talk with your children about the Christmas story and how special it is to us.
Read it in the Bible: Luke 1:39-56
Dinnertime Conversation Starter: Mary and Elizabeth both had songs to sing about their great news. What is your favorite Christmas song? (Maybe you can sing it as a family!)
What Christmas songs did your family list as their favorite? Let us know!
Showing our campers and their families a Christ-like example through growing relationships and fun, meaningful experiences.
