About this Bible story
In Luke 2, the shepherds were amazed when angels appeared to them. They were told about Jesus' birth and heard the message, 'Glory to God in the highest.' The shepherds ran to find the baby, full of joy and wonder.
“Glory to God in the highest.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While coloring, ask the kids, 'What do you think the angels said to the shepherds?' Focus on the moment when the angels announced Jesus' birth. Use washable markers for easy cleanup, and consider having a short story time afterward to read from Luke 2.
