LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The United Methodist Youth Choir will present two performances of “Shepherds, Sheep and a Savior” on Sunday, Dec. 11.

The first will be at Clearlake Community United Methodist Church at 9:30 a.m., with the second performance at Middletown Community United Methodist Church at 11:30 a.m.

On a hill just outside of Bethlehem, lowly shepherds were tending their sheep at night.

They didn't get much company out there. People had been passing through for several days as the census was underway, but they hardly spoke at all as they walked by on their way to Bethlehem.

Nobody really wanted to talk to the shepherds. But that all changed when an angel spoke to them.

They may have been at the bottom of the social ladder in Bethlehem, but when an angel speaks you listen, and when you get amazing news, you go and tell.

This is their story – what they heard and what they saw that marvelous night when a baby was born who would change the world.

“Shepherds, Sheep and a Savior” is a Christmas musical that will help you celebrate the reason for the season. It is fun for the whole family and there is no charge. All are welcome.

Clearlake Community United Methodist Church is located at 14521 Pearl St. Middletown Community United Methodist Church is located at 15833 Armstrong St.
