The students of Little Flower School will present a Christmas musical play, “The Tale of the Drowsy Shepherd,” this Sunday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. in the Tilman Hovland Auditorium at Rugby High School.

Aaron, a shepherd boy, is always asleep on the job and is in danger of being fired. He feels that he is not meant to be a shepherd. One night he has a dream about the long-awaited Messiah. When he hears of Jesus’ birth he travels to Bethlehem. Aaron learns that with God’s guidance and love we can all find our own path.

Students in grades K-6 will participate in the program, which is being directed by Glenda Mack and Vernice Brossart.
