Christmas at Thriving Hills - The Shepherds

The Christmas Story found in Luke chapter 2 is more than an ancient tale; more than tradition meant to be kept alive at a certain time each year. It is good news - of great joy - meant for all people, everywhere. Listen in as Pastor Chris sets the backdrop, introduces the characters, and conveys the meaning behind the message the angels brought that night.
