Advent Stars
On three evenings, December 20th, 24th and 27th the community was invited to come to the Bethany parking lot for a journey to Christmas. We walked along the star-shaped path of luminaries and read the story of Christmas, and found something special at each point of the star.

We opened just after sunset; luminaries lit and waiting for guests.
After dark, the star shines bright from the parking lot...
... snd also from the hill above the parking lot!

At each point of the star, a table, with nativity figures, a part of the story of Christmas, and a take-away gift (table 3)
Table 4 - pretty self-explanatory.
Clearly, the very best view was from the hillside. Click on the video to the right to see the star shimmer and sparkle!
