Throughout the Advent season, Baby Jesus is traveling around the eastern shore, visiting members of our PCC church family. Baby Jesus (from our church nativity scene) packed stories, games, stickers, and a special prayer journal into his suitcase to share with all of his new friends, and he has been going to a new house each night. Each family that hosts Baby Jesus takes care of him, reads and plays with him, and has an opportunity to write special prayers for this holiday season into the Jesus journal. This is a time for many of our younger members to learn more about the true Christmas story and put hospitality into practice. Every family is encouraged to talk to their children about Jesus' coming, and pick out words the describe the meaning of Jesus' birth. Already, Baby Jesus has made quite a few stops and had numerous adventures.
Here are some of the highlights from the week:
Baby Jesus got to have a special lunch with a group of our younger children from the church. The rumor is that the lunch was an all-girls affair, but that Jesus was allowed to participate since he is so special.
Baby Jesus had a sleep over that included Chinese take-out food and lots of playing. Baby Jesus even helped to wrap Christmas presents to go under the tree. Baby Jesus was given a new blanket by one of his new friends so he can stay warm on the rest of his travels.
Everyone has wished that Baby Jesus could stay an extra night or two, and hopes that Jesus will visit again soon! Tune in for more updates later in Advent!!
