December 20 - 21, 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM
"The Way In A Manger"
We would like to invite you to join us for our annual Christmas Reenactment on December 20 or 21. Each evening we will offer free, forty-five minute tours of several scenes depicting the birth story of Jesus Christ. In each scene you will meet individuals who experienced the story first-hand and will hear their personal accounts of the story.
Following your tour, please feel free to join us in our Family Center for holiday cookies, hot chocolate and coffee. While you are there, we would love to take time to answer any questions you may have about our Reenactment and the Bible's story.
If you would like more information about our Reenactment please contact our church office.
We look forwarding to speaking with you at our Reenactment.

What happens on the tours?
Welcome
Christmas movies are playing for your family to enjoy while you wait for your tour to begin. When your group’s letter is called, please make your way to the designated door. A brief video shares the history of our many Christmas Reenactments and expresses our appreciation for your visit. Thank you for spending part of your evening with us.
The Way Foretold
Siblings share memories of their father’s faith in God’s promises. Prophets had recorded those declared promises hundreds of years in the past. Faith convinced the prophets and this father that God would send deliverance for all people through the way He foretold.
The Way Unexpected
Simeon publicly declares his dedication to God’s word and his belief in God’s promises. He encourages friends and neighbors to devote themselves wholly to God as they await the fulfillment of prophecy. In an unexpected way, Simeon’s anticipation comes to an end.
The Way Discovered
Friends reminisce about a shared experience that took place on a night over 30 years earlier. Their memories of the events have remained the same, but since that evening, they’ve discovered more about the way God sent salvation for everyone.
The Way In A Manger
Mary recalls some of her experiences and feelings from the night Jesus was born. She now understands that when God promised a way to deliver everyone from the punishment of sin, He was talking about her son. Jesus was the way, the way in a manger.
The Way Followed
Shortly after Jesus’ departure, those who believed his words were called followers of The Way. Each follower has a unique salvation story, but every follower believes these words of Jesus, “I am the way. The only way to the Father is through me.”
Thank You
Refreshments and hot beverages are available for your family. Please feel free to stay as long as you would like. Members of our church are there as well and are willing to answer any of your questions. As you leave, please accept a small gift as our way of thanking you for joining us this evening.
