Dear Glen Mar,
I’m grateful for Journey to Bethlehem and all the ways our church has pulled together to adapt it so that people could see it. Overheard: A child raising his arms triumphantly as his car left, saying, “Jesus was a BABY!!” and many, many thank yous. So….thank you to Margaret and her very large team of helpers—let’s get ready to enjoy Weekend #2!
Check out our website for our (many) Christmas Eve options this year. Whether you need an online experience, or you want to gather outdoors to pray and sing Silent Night together, we hope you’ll join us, and SHARE with friends so that we can share the light of Christ with even more people in this time when it is needed more than ever.
