22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[a] (which means “God with us”).
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
Discussion: Our discussion is one of our favorites... God fulfills HIS promises. Why is Jesus called "God with us"?, Why was it important that Mary was a virgin? Joseph marries Mary.
Activity: A review of what the children have retained this far. We let the kids dress up and act out what they have learned about Joseph and Mary so far. We have them use vocabulary as often as possible, such as: Immanuel, Angel, etc. Do not be afraid is important, so we as they reenact an angel, we prompt (if they don't remember) what the Angel said. Who is the Angel speaking on behalf of?
