The Angel Gabriel Appears to Mary
Say: The time for the Savior to come into the world is getting closer now. Much, much closer!
The Bible Reading
Read Luke 1:26-38
(If you do the activity, save these questions for when you are eating your snack)
Ask: What message did the angel Gabriel bring to Mary? (don’t be afraid; will have a son and call Him Jesus; He will be the Son of God)
Ask: How did Mary react at first? (troubled; wondered how this could be)
Ask: What was Mary’s reaction by the end of the visit from Gabriel? (let it be done according to God’s Word)
The Song
The song is “The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came”. The words appear on the screen so we can sing along.
The Activity
We’re going to make a snack to remind us of the parts of the story. Put these ingredients together:
- Angel Food Cake cut into chunks—for the angel Gabriel, of course
- Whipped cream or Cool Whip—“from heaven came”
- Berries of some sort—rhymes with Mary
- Chocolate (or other sweet sauce)—for the sweet news of the Savior to be born
As everyone eats their snack, answer the questions from above and talk about the Bible story.
