Happy Birthday Jesus Party – Free How-To Brochure

Why Host?

Children ages 4 to 14 are the most responsive, receptive people group to the Gospel. Their young hearts are “ripe for the harvest,” and our “fields” (neighborhoods, teams, and classrooms) are full of them (John 4:35). This Christmas, give Jesus your gift of love and worship by sharing the Good News with the kids in your life.

Last year, one young girl exclaimed, “I learned that Christmas is all about God! I learned who Jesus is!”

Quick Facts

• Who: Neighbors, family, your activity or sports team, your class, any group of children you know
• Where: Open your home, or team up with a friend
• When: Any time in December, about two hours

Five Core Elements

1. A fun Christmas activity: decorate cookies, make ornaments, build gingerbread nativities, or pack gifts for others
2. The Christmas story: flannel board, nativity dolls, a nativity play, or the three gifts of the Magi
3. A short Gospel presentation: a sample is in the brochure
4. A gift game or gift exchange
5. Parting Christmas gifts for kids and parents

Share the Story

Gather the children on the floor and tell them who Jesus is and why He came. Use a nativity set, read from The Great Gift Exchange, or follow the simple Gospel presentation in the brochure. Then invite the children to receive God’s greatest gift.
