Thousands of years ago the angels visited the shepherds and brought them good news. When the shepherds heard this good news, they set off on an epic journey to search for the newborn baby Jesus.
Make this timeless story come alive with YOUR very own shepherd. His journey begins anew every Christmas season and ends on Christmas day as your shepherd finds his way to the manger.
Show us how your family finds Jesus
this Christmas with Shepherd on the Search!

ADVENTure Activity: Yummy Garlands for the Birds
Supplies: Shepherd, fresh cranberries, popcorn, thread, and plastic needles. Or if you have little ones, use ribbon and Froot Loops® or
Cheerios™.
Story time: Jesus brings peace and we are thankful. What are some things that we are thankful for? Our house? Our family? Our dolly? Our bicycle? Sometimes we forget to be thankful for food. We have so many yummy things to eat and drink. God promised to always provide for us. He said, “I provide for the birds of the air, of course I will provide for you.” Let’s make a special treat for our birds today. And let’s
remember to be oh, so thankful for our breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all our snacks.
Activity: Give each child a plastic needle that is threaded and knotted at the end. Help him/her create a cranberry and popcorn garland for the birds. Once you are finished, hang that garland outside for the birds to eat. Each time you see the garland, remind your littles to be thankful for all that Jesus does for us.
Here`s our Shepherd on the Search memory verse for the week:
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 NASB
Try to memorize as a family!
Today, talk as a family about some ways we can bring joy to someone else! How can you bring the good news of great joy that baby Jesus is on His way?
