Discussion
Why did they have to take the trip? How do you think they felt when they finally arrived?Why wa going to Jerusalem the right thing to do?(It was in God' law) How do you think Mary and Joseph felt after hearing Simeon and Anna? Why did Mary and Joseph do the right thing?(Because they loved God, God's law and their son Jesus.) 
Our families help lead the young down the Godly path. List ways that your family follow's God's example in Jesus. Do you read your Bible, Do you attend Church, do you pray together, do you serve others together? What ways would you like to grow as a family in being examples for others to see God's love?

Hymn

Quick Prayer
Dear God, thank you for families. Thank you for my family nearest me, thank you for my church family, thank you for your Love. Help us to be examples like Jesus so our young ones may have a Godly path to follow.

Activity Idea
*Think of other symbols that remind us of God. As Christians we often think of the cross to remind us of God's love.
*Part of growing our faith is by prayer. The more we talk to God the closer we become to Him. start a prayer emphasis for different nights. Example: Sunday pray for church or church workers, Monday pray for those in missions, Tuesday pray for friend and neighbors, Wednesday pray for world leaders and peace, Thursday pray for classmates and coworkers, Friday pray for family near and far, Saturday pray for need and concerns for yourself.
*The Bible is like a recipe for our lives. If we follow it as we should things turn out  as God planned. Make something from a recipe and discuss what happens if you change or add things into the batter, what would happen. Would it turn out ok? or be a mess? Read your Bible together.
