To help us remember the Christmas Story we would like to invite you to join our special project called “The Travelling Crib”. This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.

The night you have the crib in your house please:

Unpack the box and set up the crib scene.

Choose an activity to share with your child – this is a special family project.

In the morning pack away the crib as it was when it arrived with you; place it inside the box and return to school for the next family to take it home.

Dear God

Please bless our home and family on this special night as we remember the journey to Bethlehem where Jesus was born.

Help us to cherish this special time together and to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Amen.
