Advent Stars

On three evenings, December 20th, 24th and 27th from 5:00 until 7:00 pm., 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 as we read about the story of Christmas, and found something special at each point of the star.  

For a virtual tour of our story of Christmas (formatted for cell phone), click on the star below and follow the prompts!

We opened just after sunset; luminaries lit and waiting for guests.

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)

The view from the hill was really the best.  Take a look at the video to see the star shimmer and sparkle!
