Heroes Taking Action


During the second night of Vacation Bible School, the children were encouraged to “Take Action” in life to make a difference. The children were told the story of the birth of Jesus Christ with the emphasis being on the shepherds’ reaction to the news that Jesus had been born. These shepherds, who were viewed by many of their generation as the outcast of the society, were entrusted with the angelic message that the Messiah had been born.

The shepherds immediately took action by running to Bethlehem to investigate the angels’ claim. After seeing for themselves the baby lying in the manger, “the shepherds told everyone what had happened” (Luke 2:17 NLT). Throughout the night the children were encouraged to take action and tell others about Jesus, our ultimate hero!
