Christmas Memory Work

Luke 2: 8-14

And there were shepherds living out in fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “DO not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly hosts appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest , and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests.”

Parents:  This is the Bible text the students will be reciting on the Christmas program.  We have begun to memorize and we are needing your help to practise at home.  I would love for the students to know by this Friday "And there were shepherds..........and they were terrified." (small section)  

Costumes:  We will be angels, so I am requesting that the students wear all white. (can be white shirt and skirt/pants).
