BRODHEAD TO BETHLEHEM—December 11th, 12th, and 13th. We have been invited to join Living Word Church in their annual presentation, Brodhead to Bethlehem. This is a Christmas experience designed to bring the sights, smells, and sounds of the town of Bethlehem on the night of Christ’s birth to the present. Visitors to the town will be escorted by a “townsperson” who will act as their guide, making sure they get the most out of the experience! THE GOAL is to immerse participants and visitors into the culture of 2,000 years ago and bring back the awe and wonder of the greatest event in history; to produce a sense of reverence and a “Wow” experience that will change lives. Sign up sheets are on the back table if you would like to participate.
