Meet Me At The Manger - SGAC Kids
See what the Wise Men brought to their King. The frankincense was a sweet smelling fragrance of a life filled with prayer & worship, our hearts are to be refined like gold as we remove those things that pollute our soul, and the myrrh was a burial spice that teaches us to die to our old selfish nature so we can live in freedom with Christ. Our desire is that you would experience the pure joy that comes from living for Jesus this Christmas season.
