We celebrate special days where we observe and honor occasions and people that have contributed something to our country and lives.  Children Ministry International (CMI) has developed a 3-volume "Holiday Series" that explores special days and seeks to glean biblical meaning in the observance of the days.

 
Some of these days, like Easter, Mother and Father’s Days, Reformation Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, have biblical roots and there are Bible passages presented to help us celebrate them.  Other holidays are more national. July 4th, for example, emphasizes our true freedom that is found in Christ alone.  We also study what it means to be a Christian and how we can serve Christ as faithful citizens.  In celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, we are reminded that he was an evangelist taking the gospel to Ireland, a land that had previously enslaved him.
 
CMI’s "Holiday Series" Volume One covers the holidays from New Year’s to Easter, Volume Two from Mother’s Day to Labor Day, and Volume Three from Columbus Day to Christmas.  Each holiday’s background is explained, a Bible lesson is explores the meaning of the day, and then some applications and crafts are presented.  A CD with children singing is included.  Each Volume is $21.
