There are only 86 days until Christmas at the time of this writing. Christmas is a great time to reach families. Families are more open to coming to church during the Christmas season.
It's important to have a strategic plan to engage families and share the Gospel with them.
With that in mind, I've got a couple of resources that can help you with this. These are proven resources that have been used in local churches to reach thousands of kids and parents.
Christmas Lesson - The Christmas Gift
This children's lesson follows the heart-warming story of a boy named Andrew who discovers the true meaning of Christmas and is given the greatest Christmas gift ever...Jesus. Because Jesus came, our sins can be forgiven and we can have eternal life when we ask Him to be our Forgiver, Leader and Friend.

The other resource is a Christmas Family Experience.
Who's This All About?" is a Christmas Family Experience that has been used by hundreds of churches of all sizes across the country. It is for kids and their parents to experience together. It tells the story of a young girl who discovers "Who" Christmas is really all about. Set in a "Whoville" like environment, it brings laughter, fun, music, games and storytelling together to create an experience families love. This is also a great outreach tool as families are looking for shared experiences during the Christmas season.
Includes...
scripts for drama (scripts are editable and flexible so you can adjust as needed to fit your specific ministry context)
suggested order of service
family games and activity ideas
family message that creatively shares the true meaning of Christmas
