We took part in activities to learn more about the birth of John the Baptist...

Bible Storytelling: We read the story of John's birth from Luke 1:5-25, 57-66 using a Bible. We listened attentively and asked questions about the story afterward. We can discuss the similarities between John's birth and the birth of Jesus.

Character Comparison: We looked at pictures of Mary and Elizabeth and identified the differences in their ages and appearances. We discussed the special connection they shared as cousins and their roles in the births of John and Jesus. We can talk about our own family connections.
