If you’re using Bible Studies For Life: Kids, be sure to get the four extra sessions that are available online for December 2013.
The Winter 2013-14 quarter of Bible Studies For Life: Kids only has one printed lesson for Christmas — it’s the Special Focus session. With the new change from a heavily dated resource to one that is more flexible for groups, we decided that we would print one Christmas session and then provide two additional sessions on the Enhanced CD.
At the time the Enhanced CD was printed, we weren’t sure about how much the new Bible Studies For Life website would allow us to do. Since then, we have found the site is helpful for loading PDFs, so I’m happy to say that the two extra sessions are also available online.
But …we started thinking about it and realized that December 2013 has five weeks and although we realize many churches will not have Bible Studies on each of those weeks, some will and we want to be the best resource available and the most flexible. So, the awesome folks on my team have been busy working to create two additional lessons so that you can use all five if you wish!
Here are links to the lessons:
December 1: God’s Promise Through Prophets
December 8: Angel Visited Mary and Joseph
December 15: Mary Visited Elizabeth
December 22: Jesus Was Born
December 29: Wise Men Visited Jesus
December 1: Angel Visited Mary
December 8: Angel Visited Joseph
December 15: Mary Visited Elizabeth
December 22: Jesus Was Born
December 29: Wise Men Visited Jesus

I thought there was only going to be one lesson for Christmas in the new BSFL curriculum so I had gone back to old curriculum and copied lessons to make the 5 for the month of December. Then after I have done all that work early I find you have made these available. Glad you did it but a little late for me. My teachers ALWAYS want to do Christmas lessons the WHOLE month of December no matter how many weeks that might be. Glad the extra 2 lessons were on enhanced CD but still needed 2 more.
I was very excited to see the two additional Christmas lessons on the Enhanced CD. Great forethought! Thanks for doing such a great job of equipping the saints.
Thanks Melanie! We knew that many churches would want Christmas lessons for the month of December!
