Sul’y The Stable Boy

March 17, 2022 By Leave a Comment

See the Christmas Story though the eyes of Sul’y the Stable Boy.

For Advent in 2021 FHBcatc presented the story of Jesus birth from the perspective of someone who was there to witness the event first hand.  We all know the story of the Kings and the Wise Men. An often overlooked individual at Christmas is Su’ly.

We have created a series of seven videos of Pastor Ken’s portrayal of Sul’y telling the Christmas story.  Tune in to our YouTube Channel and watch as the Christmas story unfolds; starting with Sul’y first meeting a very pregnant Mary or Miriam as he knew her.

You will find these videos on our YouTube Channel in the Playlists.
