| Christmas 2011 Update from Shepherd's Cross |
| The spring lamb crop has been weaned, the first cutting of hay has farm. Below is an overview of some of the happenings at Shepherd's Cross. ~ Safenet Garden Tour - Shepherd's Cross participated in the garden tour to raise funds for our local domestic violence intervention service, Safenet, on Saturday June 5th. ~ Audio garden tours are now available on the farm, as well as the individualized guided tours. We have also updated 107 garden signs, featuring descriptions of the plants and their biblical references. An all new (2nd Edition) Bible Garden Guidebook is available. ~ The Northeast Oklahoma Rolling Workshop chartered bus tour stopped by for a tour on June 29th. The Oklahoma Agritourism Association meeting was held over lunch in the tour barn. It was a great networking day, and a wonderful opportunity to visit with people about Oklahoma's growing industry, Agritiourism. ~ Mission to Mongolia in July with Heart of the Shepherd, our non-profit organization. The nation of Mongolia lost over 90% of their livestock last winter due to weather conditions. The purpose of this mission trip is to encourage the people, assist in agriculture and animal medicine, children's ministry, evangelism, and business practices. Prayer cards are available at the shop. ~ Summer Tours are available in the Bible Garden, general farm & shepherding, wool mill, and farm museum. Simply drop by to see what we have or give us a call or email to set up a full tour or a tour group. ~ Online Wool Shop is now available on the website @ http://www.shepherdscross.com/woolshop.html or visit the Oklahoma Food Coop @ http://oklahomafood.coop or Etsy @ http://shepherdscross.etsy.com Have a blessed summer! "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 |

Dear Friends,
The Living Nativity is here once again; that special time of year to reflect upon the gift of the "Christ" of
Christmas. Pete and I have been facilitating a Living Nativity in our community for 20 years. The years have flown
by. In retrospect, I am grateful that we have taken the time, energy, and resources to share with our community
the true meaning of Christmas, and I am grateful for a community that has helped to facilitate, with genuine
heartfelt understanding, the message of the "Christ" of Christmas. During the uncertainty of these timees, our
hearts are anchored in peace, knowing that one thing remains steadfast, the everlasting arms of grace and life
everlasting extended to us through that precious gift of Jesus Christ our Lord. We have only to embrace the truth
extended to us.
