Palm Sunday Singing - So much fun!

It’s always a blessing to share this time with our children! Our little ones have been singing, prancing, dancing, tip-toeing, marching, and giggling and otherwise celebrating with their bodies and voices each Sunday.


On PALM SUNDAY, the children led us into worship by “entering Jerusalem” with joy and singing.

It opened immediately following the worship service (10:00) on December 21st!  The children led us from the worship service to the Marketplace, where we all experienced wonderful sights, sounds and smells.

All designed to give everyone the feeling of a Bethlehem Marketplace prior to the birth of Jesus.  

 


 

A little Bethlehem background: When Quirinius was governor of Syria, Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire.  Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be   accounted for.  So Joseph went from Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David’s town, for the census.  He went with Mary, his fiancée, who was pregnant.

Journey to Bethlehem with Joseph and Mary.  Travel back in time to those dusty streets during the days just before Jesus’ birth.  Experience the sights, tastes and smells of everyday life that surrounded Jesus’ family in Bethlehem.  Sense the excitement and anticipation felt by the  shepherds and everyone who heard their strange and disturbing story of light and music— yes, angels – in the sky.  What did it mean?  And there was that bright, bright star!

Journey to Bethlehem for a Christmas experience this year.  We hope that you’ll come by yourself,  invite a friend or bring the whole family.  Activities will be appropriate for all ages.
