Bethlehem Star small group reflection and craft activity
Themes: Epiphany, christmas
Media Type: meditation, reflection, craft
Bible refs: Matt 2:1-12, Num 24:17-19
Written by: Sara Hargreaves

You will need:
Bibles
About 5 pipe cleaners per person
Lots of pretty beads
Some string

This is a reflective Bible study on the themes of Epiphany; the Magi and the Star of Bethlehem. It was written for my mum's small group, and we're never in shape for anything too difficult on a Wednesday morning, so the discussion questions aren't too complex. Part of the reflection is the making of our own stars, made from pipe cleaners (metallic coloured ones are pretty) and beads. Tie some string to these creations and they can be a late addition to your Christmas tree!

Hi - Sorry to all of you who've had problems with this one. The link should be working again now.

I was just about to write that it seems to work for me, and then I saw Kieran's comment - the world's best webmaster, and late on New Year's Eve...
Sorry everyone for seemingly messing up every link this jolly season!
