Sunday 4TH December 2022 – An Angel Visit
Read: Luke 1:26-38
Mary was an ordinary young woman, who was looking forward to starting married life with Joseph when something extraordinary happened to her. An angel came to her and explained that God had a plan, a plan to help all the people, a plan to save all the people. That plan included Mary – and her doing a very special job. Mary was going to have a baby – His baby, a special baby that would be the saviour in God’s plan. Mary didn’t know how this could happen because she was not married but the angel explained the Holy Spirit would come upon her. Mary could have said no – God gave her a choice, but she did what God asked. She knew she would be in lots of trouble, and it would not be easy, but she knew it would be worth it.
Watch:
What did the angel ask Mary? What did Mary say? How would you react if an angel came to visit you?

Pray: Heavenly Father, through this season of Advent, we prepare for our Christmas celebrations of the birth of your Son Jesus Christ.
In all the busy times help us to see the importance of your love for us. Show us new ways to share the message of your love for all people. We pray this in the name of Jesus, whose coming we eagerly await. Amen. (Taken from Praying Together)
Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.
May they be safe and peaceful, in you may they abide.
Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day. Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
May your Holy Spirit give them rest as gentle as a dove. Amen (Taken from Praying Together)
Share: Make an angel to go on your Christmas tree as a reminder of the angel visiting Mary.
