“Journey to Bethlehem” is an experience that takes the whole family back to the days of Jesus's birth in the little town of Bethlehem. It is a chance to walk around replicated Bethlehem marketplace and hear the excitement residents have as the word spreads of the savior being born. Families can visit the shepherd field where the angels announced his birth, they can visit the inn where Mary and Joseph were turned away, and they can visit the stable where Jesus was born. Families are invited to interact with the characters and place themselves in Bethlehem.
The event will be held on Dec. 9-10 from 6 to 8 p.m. at New Beginnings Church of the Nazarene. There will be a collection of non-perishable food items at the door to benefit Rise Again Outreach, which helps families in New Hampshire. There will also be a bake sale fundraiser for the Nazarene Youth Group to raise money for an upcoming mission trip. The church is located at 33 Staniels Road in Loudon and is across from the Red Roof Inn. For more information, call 224-1311.
