Church Family Moment for Sunday, December 22, 2024

By Director of Spiritual Formation Rebecca Guzman

1. Check out this video that illustrates the story for today. What do you notice when watching the story this way?
2. What do you think an angel looks like? The Bible has lots of descriptions of angels that don’t match the way we usually draw them! Sometimes, it says they have four faces and four wings, or sometimes it seems like they look like people without wings. In some places, it says that angels look like interlocking golden wheels! Draw a picture of what you think an angel looks like. Nobody really knows, so you can’t get it wrong.
3. Listen to this version of the song that Mary sings. What do you notice about her song? What does she say? What does it mean?
4. Journal, considering the following:
   1. What is the relationship between Mary and Elizabeth
   2. Who is the baby that Elizabeth will give birth to?
   3. Why do you think Mary decided to go visit Elizabeth?
   4. Who is an “Elizabeth” in your life?
