Create a timeline/journey for Joseph from when Mary first told him of the events of the Annunciation to their settling in at the stable.
For each point on the timeline, complete the following: § What might Joseph be thinking? § What might Joseph be feeling? § What question(s) would you ask Joseph at this point? § What might we learn from Joseph’s actions?

| Using the above, create a ‘Joseph’s Stations’ using PowerPoint or similar. If this is not possible then use your own drawings and writing for each station. One slide for each point on the journey, plus an introductory and concluding slide. Last slide to be a prayer.
Think about the background/picture for each slide, what questions will you pose for those taking part to reflect upon, will you use background music, what message(s) do you want to try and get across?
