To this day I remember the message and the songs
I had the privilege of being a “supporting sheep” in the Katrina Miller original production of the Sheep Shed when I was a child. To this day I remember the message and the songs. I now have the opportunity to share Katrina’s God –given talent of spreading His word with my son. We look forward to reading The Lord Shepherd and His Sheep Shed and other works by Katrina Miller!
We would sing and act along
I have fond memories from childhood of placing “The Lord Shepherd and His Sheep Shed” tape into the cassette player. As my sister and I listened, we would sing and act along with the characters, as they brought forth the parable of Jesus, the good shepherd seeking the lost sheep. It was a gentle and delightful way for the truths from God’s word to be planted in my heart.
I absolutely love and highly recommend
I absolutely love and highly recommend “The Lord Shepherd and His Sheep Shed” by Katrina Miller. My children, husband and I played and enjoyed listening to it many times over the years. It beautifully teaches the love of the Lord and the lesson of the Parable of the lost sheep from God’s holy word in Matthew 18:11-14 & Luke 15:3-7. I also bought several copies to share with my family and friends, all of whom loved it and played it too.
My husband and I taught a Sunday school class for 1st and 3rd graders and played it for them as well. The kids wanted us to play it over and over! When one of my students told me he was moving…I gave him a tape as a going away present. He was so happy with his present, he was moved to tears. Thirty years later and I still cry listening to the “Shepherd’s Song”. Happy tears, knowing how much our Lord loves and cares for us. Thank you, Katrina, for blessing me and mine with this awesome story. God bless!
This story is told in a fun, exciting, and memorable way!
I had the honor of taking part in a live production of Katrina Miller’s Lord Shepherd and His Sheep Shed as a young child. I have never forgotten my experience, the songs, the lessons, and of course the fact that Lord Shepherd loves me and will never leave me.
This story completely follows the Biblical parable of the lost sheep. It is told in a child friendly manner and touches on many other important topics. In the song “Destination” the character wanders off seeking lights and independence but quickly learns that the grass is not greener on the other side and a lost sheep is a very scared sheep. He is “the one” the “lost sheep” that Lord Shepherd sets out to find. The other sheep sing songs about God and his love. One of my favorites is “Follow On” which addresses trusting God and following Him in all circumstances.
The characters from the Sheep Shed are relatable and believable. This story is told in a fun, exciting, and memorable way! Your children will quickly be able to repeat the story by memory.
As a 37-year old Mom of three young children, I still find myself singing these songs to them. I was recently able to watch a video recording of our performance from my childhood and what a joy it was to experience it all over again!
As an added bonus I noticed my husband in the Sheep choir as well! We did not even know each other back then! I enjoy singing the theme song around my house as I claim the promises of our Lord, “We are the sheep, we are the sheep of the sheep shed. No wolves are scattering this fold. He is protecting and providing, and in Him we are abiding. He’s the Lord and we’re the sheep of the sheep shed!”
