Grace Lutheran Church is taking residents back to where it all happened on Christmas Eve over 2000 years ago, in a little town near Jerusalem.
On the evening of Saturday, December 9, they are hosting A Night in Bethlehem.
“We are doing up the church like the village of Bethlehem,” said Pastor Scott Gamble.” So we will have 11 different shops, various activities for families. Coming through we will have people in costumes and actors wandering the streets to engage with.”
“You will go home with various different activities and crafts, all kinds of things pointing to Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem as the reason for Christmas.”
He explains that one of his parishioners had heard the idea from another church, and brought the idea forward. They felt they could make it a possibility.
“We thought we could make a run of this, we have a good community and it is something that Drumheller would really like,” he said.
The event is open to all ages and is a great opportunity for families to enjoy the Christmas season.
The Night in Bethlehem goes from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and all are welcome to come and go as they please. A free-will offering will be taken.
