The birth of Christ was announced to shepherds, outcasts ordinarily unnoticed who worked seven days a week.

The angels proclaimed Good News for all people. 

The shepherds responded to the Gospel and immediately shared their encounter. 

Jesus, the Savior, continues to seek and save the lost. 

Jesus is now our Shepherd.
