Candy canes are sweet, but Jesus is the sweetest gift ever!

There are so many things you can do with a candy cane — you can eat them, you can play games with them, and you can decorate your gingerbread nativity with them. But there’s one more really neat thing about candy canes — you can use them to remember why Christmas is so special.

During this version of “Gingerbread Bash,” families will hear the good news of Jesus as told through the shape and color of the candy cane. They’ll discover that Jesus is the gift that loves us and died for us so that we could be saved from sin.

Among many other things, this version includes:

  • A candy cane themed large group game
  • Stop motion Bible story video
  • “Follow that Star” screen game
  • “Joy, Joy, Joy to the World” Christmas song (with lyric video)
