Night in bethlehem

Last weekend I helped a few ladies from my church plan our wards Christmas party: A Night in Bethlehem. We wanted to create a Christmas experience that celebrated the life of Christ. I'm on the enrichment committee,

This was a night like no other. In and amongst all the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations it was so nice to walk into this humble, peaceful night of honoring the birth of our Savior.

Bottled water at the well. Lots of rugs and blankets for family seating. Tables and chairs were set…

I am so glad that I got to stay around and see my "vision" play out for the evening. Most wards do something like this at least once, but our ward has never done it. It is a huge on taking, but I knew that it could be done. Here is the census area where you signed the census and paid your taxes (can of food) before entering the market…

So our church is having "A Night in Bethlehem" family party where there will be "shops" that feature all things in the time when Christ was born. (Glampa Fabulous and I will be running a pottery shop where everyone can roll some clay and inscribe their names in Hebrew and make ornaments for their trees at home.)
