Song for tonight:

Shamash..... Making ready for Chanukkah

Chanukkah.....

first let me just say I feel that it is a need to have the book light in the darness or “LIGHT” from First fruits of Zion ministries if you haven't seen that book it is a must. It is my favorite book for the Chanukkah and we use it every year. And you will find that my activities for kids will go along with that book!!!

Night of the Shamash Candle

the night of the Shamash Candle is the night before Chanukkah starts, it is is a night in our family that we make ready our home for Chanukkah we pray over the kids and bless them, pray over the house and rededicate our home and our family to ELOHIM ( God ). the interesting part of this night is this special candle it is the candle that lights all the other candles it is called the Shamash candle because Shamash means Servant, as a believer in messiah Y'shua ( Jesus) it is just another picture of what he is to our lives a servant who gives us the light so that we may light the world.

Activity for Shamash with kids

have children write out the Sh'ma or trace it and tie it on the 4 corners of your property, also go around with oil and anoint each room and person in your home to make ready for Chanukkah.....
