The Journey of the Wise Men - Days 5 and 6

 

On Day 5 Gus found the wise men looking at a shepherd and his sheep. We talked about how Jesus is our shepherd. We talked about the shepherd's staff and how a shepherd uses it to take care of his sheep. We talked about how the staff (candy cane) also was in the shape of a J which stands for Jesus.

 

 

 

 

 

Day 6 began with the kids hearing music and singing. We told them to go find the music. They found the shepherd looking up at an angel. We talked about how the angel visited the shepherd and told of Jesus in Bethlehem. We then spoke of how the sky filled with angels singing and praising God. We can praise God too through singing and making music. The kids each got a tambourine and harmonica to make music to praise God with. This was a really fun day.
