Countdown to ChristmasSample

Ancient builders often completed construction of a building with a commemorative capstone placed at the peak. Provide sugar cubes, blocks or LEGOs and have each of your kids construct a building, leaving a spot open at the top for a capstone.

As they place the capstone, tell your kids that this stone is very important because it signals the completion of the building. The book of Psalms foretold that Jesus would be like a capstone. When He came, He completed the work of salvation, creating a "house" of believers.
