The 7th Day Adventist Church in our town does a wonderful living nativity each year. As you enter the gates of Bethlehem you pay your 'taxes' to the Roman soldiers. You stroll through a the village and can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and a piece of homemade bread.

They even have a potter! |
Just like the shepherds of old, you follow the star to find the real 'gift' of
Christmas. |
Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus! And as Isabella always says, "just like OUR Mary". She has only met her Aunt Mary once but she loves her! |
Afterwards you go into the church building where they have crafts and a puppet show for the children and a delicious variety of soups. This is where the 8 congregations from Eagle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints helped. Youth manned the puppet booth and craft room and we provided many crockpots of vegetarian soups.
A lovely start to our Christmas season.
