Jesus was born in a barn

The simplest, most humble arrival possible.

His first visitors, the Shepherds, would have been outcasts in society because they never left their sheep to visit the Temple and make sacrifices. And yet God makes sure they are the first people to meet Jesus while he looks after the sheep.

God wanted them to see and know Jesus. He wanted them to have a relationship with him.

Look, Wonder, and consider what this humblest of starts means for us.

We can ALL have a relationship with Jesus. Every one of us.

Younger children will enjoy this song:
Born in a barn:

And it is always good to listen or sing along to
Away in a manger

And then you could have a dance for Joy to this song
Ding Dong (Rend)
