As usual, we enjoyed a hands-on activity during the family service. This involved decorating the shepherd’s staff:
The finished staffs looked like this:
The reason behind this activity can be summarised in the poem below:
‘Look at a candy cane: what do you see?

Turn it around and a staff you will see
Jesus, my Shepherd, is coming for me!’
