Free Christmas Devotional for Families

 Christmas Devotional

With all the marketing and materialism it can be easy to miss out on the true meaning of Christmas.

Don’t!

 

Dr. Michael Kennedy has provided a daily family devotional, “The Cross and the Manger,” for the first 25 days of December that will instill a true Christmas spirit within each of the members of your family. You can print and distribute for all the families within your children’s ministry.

Four great reasons to use this devotional this year:

1. Biblical. It starts in Genesis and shows you how all of Scripture leads up to Jesus.

2. Family Oriented. It is written with families in mind. Nothing difficult. This makes it easy for almost all of your parents.

3. Brief. We all know December is nuts. It is non-stop and adding another thing seems impossible. This won’t be burdensome. Instead, it will be well worth it.

4. Free. No cost for you to use with your family. No cost for your church families to use either.

 

What are you waiting for? Download the pdf now. You can set it up to print out in booklet form to make it easy for families too.

Dr. Michael Kennedy, is a pastor with a heart for families. He serves as Senior Pastor at New Vision Fellowship in Dublin, GA. You can follow his blog here.
