Let shepherds take you back over 2000 years on a leisurely 20-minute walk, outside and inside, to experience the scenes and stories leading to the birth of Jesus . Enjoy<\/strong> singing, music, lights, snacks and lots of friendly people.
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Centurion will greet you as you approach from the west parking lot (off\u00a0 Scott Ave) to prepare you for your journey. Shepherds will then lead you in a group through the scenes where you will experience the stories leading to the birth of Jesus.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

See and hear about the Angel visiting Mary; the Angel visiting Joseph; the Shepherds with their sheep, visited by Angels; the three Wise Men seeing the star in the East, traveling to see Jesus; then Mary and Baby Jesus in the manger. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After your journey, you will have the opportunity to enjoy cookies, hot chocolate and cider in the Fellowship Hall<\/abbr>, if you can get by the hot dogs roasting on the fire. Arrive anytime between 6 and 8 pm.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
