Instructions:
Sometimes people we know are having a hard time—maybe they are sick or lonely or just afraid. God sent an angel to tell Joseph not to be afraid when he learned that Jesus was coming. What are some of the ways we can help people know that God cares for them always, even when they might be afraid? 

Today, we're going to make "Jesus Cares" cards that you can send or give to someone you know who might be sick, or lonely, or afraid. Do you know anyone you might want to send one of these cards to?

1. Discuss some of the kinds of messages the kids could put on their cards and add their ideas to those you have on the board already.
2. Encourage kids to plan their card designs before they begin gluing, in case they want to make changes.
3. Have kids make as many cards as they like.

I hope you know someone you would like to share your "Jesus Cares" cards with. The cards you make and the messages you share can help other people know that Jesus is always with us—and Jesus is good news!
