A Walk Through Bethlehem

We had a great experience this year thorugh our church. The children's wing coordinator put together an immersive experience for the children to better understand the world Jesus was born into. She, with a lot of help, coordinated a Walk Through Bethlehem, where participants traveled from area to area experiencing what it would be like to shop in a Bethlehem market place and to visit food and craft booths of the age, as well as to see the inside of the temple and to participate in a teaching time. All of our church participants did a fabulous job recreating the marketplace for the children (and later the rest of the church) to experience. The end of the tour through the town included a lesson on the gospel--our preacher was passionate and so very educational. Everyone had a wonderful time and the whole experence was well worth all of the work. Jozsef and Nikolas participated as Wise Men while Sonja was an angel. Already plans are being made for next year's walk--yay! Merry Chirstmas!
