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!

Sara co-leads engageworship.org together with husband Sam, drawing from her experience in music, worship and youthwork. She is also a mum of two wonderful children and they all live in groovy Luton.
