Wooly and the Good Shepherd – video
Follow along with Wooly, a little lamb with big fears, as he goes on an adventure and finds a chance to be brave. Based on Bible passages of the angels appearing to the shepherds and the shepherds’ visit to the nativity, this story allows children and adults alike to go deeper into Bible history and scripture. Enjoy scripture as it comes to life, imagine historical Bethlehem, and pay special attention to lambs, angels, shepherds, and the Holy Family and their roles in the story and history.
