Rags to Riches

Each year we sing, ‘While shepherds watched their flocks by night’, but what do we really know about these early witnesses to the birth of Jesus? What did it mean for them to experience a sky filled with angels and be the ones chosen to hear the good news?

This service is designed for all ages to enjoy together, as we explore the lives of the shepherds and their rags to riches story. All the materials and links you need are listed below. Free to download and ready to use!
