JANNIE: (waving the sticky note as her interest grows while she reads) "That
night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding
their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among
them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They
were terrified, but the angel reassured them. 'Don't be afraid!' he
said. 'I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.
The Savior has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And
you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped
snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.'
(Jannie looks for the next sticky note but is getting more excited; holds it
up and continues to read.)
JANNIE:
"Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies
of heaven—praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in highest
heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.'
When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each
other, 'Let's go to Bethlehem! Let's see this thing that has happened,
which the Lord has told us about.' They hurried to the village
and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the
manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had
happened and what the angel had said to them about this child."
( music begins to "This Thing that Has Happened")
