Be Alert, Shepherds!

This unit helps children experience the Christmas story from the shepherds' unique point of view exploring questions like... What do Shepherds watch for? What do we watch for in Advent? What are a shepherd's responsibilities?  What tools does a shepherd use? How can we apply this to our Advent waiting?

Using seven different lesson plans and learning styles, we explore the meaning of Advent and how we prepare for Christmas. Beyond learning about Bible-time shepherds, children also explore a story offering one interpretaion of the Legend of the Candy Cane and it's connection to shepherds - and to Jesus!
