How will you prepare to celebrate the Savior's birth this year? Many people have traditions such as listening to Christmas music, sending cards, decorating a tree, or reading the Christmas story.

We'll now look at the Shepherds’ response.

This three day plan takes Ancora Kids to a hillside near Bethlehem where they find some shepherds looking after their sheep. In Bible times, shepherds were not always trusted or seen as important. But God gave very special news to these shepherds! The plan complements the free children’s game app Guardians of Ancora.

Christmas is coming. Join me as I prepare for this special holiday and reflect on the meaning of Christmas, what it really means to ‘go tell it on the mountain,’ how actions and words can work together, and how we can celebrate Jesus’ birth long after Christmas has come and gone. -Zach Williams
