She Shall Bring Forth A Son


 

(Young Women Lesson Help)  I have been given a very sweet book titled "Mary's Treasure Box" by Carolyn Walz Kramlich.  (Check your local library too)  In the book Mary is a grandmother and shares with her granddaughter a "treasure box". The box was crafted by Jesus when he was a boy. Inside the box are keepsakes from the night of his birth ie: straw, swaddling cloth, wool, flute, gold, frankincense and myrrh. Mary tells the meaning of each item as her granddaughter removes them from the box..

Lesson plan -

Musical Number: "Mary Did You Know"

Then I have an older woman "grandma" who will read the story while a young "granddaughter" removes the items from a treasure box .  I will close with some thoughts taken from the following articles:

   "Mary and Joseph", New Era, December 2006
   "The Message: Christ the Savior Is Born", New Era, December 2006
   "His Gift to the World", New Era, December 2002

We gave each of the girls a charm bracelet, or key ring, at Young Women in Excellence, so our gift to them will be a charm of the baby Jesus.  (Idea by Andrea Lewis / ga12192006)
