Usually, the standard church Christmas pageant will have a few small children dressed in bathrooms and flip-flops standing somewhere in the background to represent the shepherds who came to visit Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus in that Bethlehem stable. And though it provides ready roles of little boys in a Christmas play, the shepherds were anything but in the background in the real Christmas story. Join us for worship this Sunday and learn how these shepherds became Jesus' First Disciples and why that is so very important for us as well!
