38 - The Angels in Heaven

Introduction

Ask the children how they think angels look? They have wings.....they are bright.....most of the time, they are wearing white. Show them some pictures. Ask the children if they know where angels live? How many angels live in heaven? Are there a few of them, or a lot of them? Learn about what angels do, how they protect us and how they are always taking care of us and praising God.

Lesson Outline

There are so many angels in heaven that we cannot even count them. God created angels in heaven to praise Him and also to help us. Sometimes God sends His angels with special messages to His people; like the Angel who told St. Mary that she will be the mother of baby Jesus. 

Some angels are special, because they are in charge of other angels.; they are called Archangels. There are Archangel Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and others. There are also many guardian angels. God has given each of His children a guardian angel to watch over him or her. Angels protect us from bad things that can happen to us. We do not see our guardian angel, but this angel is next to us all the time, whether we are playing, sleeping, or running. The guardian angel’s job is to keep us safe. 

Angels are always praising God in heaven by singing beautiful hymns. Angels are beautiful, calm, and kind.  We do not need to be afraid or scared at any time, because we know that God gave us each a guardian angel to be with us and keep us safe. If we do what God wants us to do and be calm and kind, we can be lovely like angels.
