OK, understood. I just posted a link to four videos of the Godly Play Advent stories (aimed at younger children, but possibly still useful). This one is also from Godly Play, but fleshes out the story somewhat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9men...

I have found a couple of links that just present the story from Godly Play. This one has a separate video for each of the weeks of Advent: gloucester.anglican.org/2020/godly-p...

Is it important that it be a video? There are lovely picture books that retell the nativity story, or read them from the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Or both?

Admittedly, it is a long service. I'm still searching. The Salt Project does interesting videos, but I haven't found anything that quite fits. Michael's first suggestion of A Charlie Brown Christmas may be the best one so far. I'll keep thinking...

@garicgymro.bsky.social I have a few thoughts. The first is decidedly non-secular, but one way of getting a sense of the story is by watching a pageant. This one is exceptionally well done and combines scripture readings with the story from Godly Play: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOgi...

Thank you, Dianna!

Thanks, Ellie. I appreciate your encouragement (and the share too).

I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! Thanks for sharing it.

And, finally, WHO NEEDS THE DARK? by @lauraalary.bsky.social with illustrations by client @risahugo.bsky.social shows the dark is good for all of us.
