"Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go..."
We're told that when the Shepherds heard about the Messiah being born, "they hurried off..." It was urgent! They wanted to get down to the town, to find the amazing child they'd been told about. Were the angels making it up? There was only one way to find out - get to Bethlehem as soons as they could!
And here's the video:

Angels pop up all over the place in the Christmas Story - they're messengers from God, with news that is exciting, challenging, and wonderful. Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds - they all hear from God via Angels. Funny thing is, almost every time an Angel appears, the first thing they say is "Don't be afraid"! They must have been pretty scary...
That's the thought behind this fun song from Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes: "I'm an angel - ooh!"
Here's a snippet:
Here are the words:
I'm an angel - OOH!
God's messenger to you,
and I'm scary- BOO!
but what I say is true:
Don't be afraid, It's happening -
That baby is God's promised King!
1. Hey - Mary! You're
Gonna have a baby (x3)
and He's God's Son!
2. Hey - Joseph! You're
Gonna call him Jesus (x3)
it means "God Saves"!
3. Hey - Shepherds!
Come and see the baby! (x3)
He's God's Good News!

If you're planning a Christmas Pageant or Nativity Play, don't forget the Wise Men! Yes, they come at the end of the story, but they're still really important.
Here's a song about the Wise Men that tells the story, brings out some of the meaning, and all with a bit of humour too: "Go-Go-Go-Go Gold!"

Even better, here's a YouTube video:
Here's a great Good Friday song for kids. If you're looking for something for children to sing about Good Friday, then you've come to the right place. This song is great for Sunday School, as it mentions three of the most important things about Jesus being crucified and dying on the cross*, and it's easy to sing, and memorable!
There's also a YouTube video, and it's available for immediate download from the Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes website.
* the verses describe the darkness, Jesus cry, and the temple curtain
Here's a harvest song that's great for the younger children at Sunday School, but that the whole church family will love to sing too.
It's about a seed, and how it grows into a big strong plant, and not a weed, thanks to God's help.
It's a very 21st Century Harvest Song, though, reminding us about "the science God has made," and helping the children to see that faith isn't incompatible with facts!
There are some fun actions, and you can get MP3 files to sing along to, and sheet music in PDF format. It's also on a CD of Harvest Songs.
