"An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and they glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were afraid." Luke 2:9
Sing Together
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
The announcement of Jesus' birth to the shepherds was extraordinary news to ordinary people. The glory of God came down to the shepherds in the fields and they were afraid. It's easy to see why they were scared. Can you imagine how overwhelming this whole experience must have been for the shepherds?
Pray Together
God we thank you for the gift of salvation through Jesus. We are grateful that we can be born again and be clothed in Your righteousness.
Cook Together

Fun Together
Make gifts for those in need.
Spend some time together making some baked goods for people who are alone, like the elderly or those in nursing homes. While baking, make home-made cards. Take them to the elderly in your neighborhood and to the local nursing home. This is a true example of how it is always better to give than to receive.
