Dear Parents

This month we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. He is the Light of the World, our Good Shepherd. We hope these pages of the Friend will help your family remember Him all month long:

• A message from President Eyring (page F2)

• A story about the baby Jesus (page F20)

• A story about the places Jesus lived (page F4)

• Activities and crafts (pages F3, F6, F9)

• Coloring pages (pages F12 and F23)

• A Christmas song (page F7)

Can your children find all the times the words Jesus, Christ, or Christmas are in the magazine? You could help them write “I love Jesus because …” and then draw or write what they love about Him.

We love you!
