Grace Kids
This Sunday’s study from Matthew 2 and Luke 2 we’ll be learning about when Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the temple to be dedicated. While there, they met Simeon and Anna, two people who recognized Jesus as the promised Messiah. Jesus the Messiah had come to save people from their sins. He grew up wise and strong and lived a perfect life. Like Simeon and Anna, we can praise God that he sent Jesus to be our Savior.
Please pray for our kids to respond like Simeon and Anna by trusting in the promises of God and believing that God sent Jesus to save us from our sins.
