Hundreds Take The ‘Journey Through Bethlehem’ In Bratt (With Gallery)
December 18, 2016
The First Baptist Church of Bratt presented a live nativity event Saturday evening — Journey Through Bethlehem.
Hundreds of people were able to walk the road through Bethlehem and experience the Christmas story come to life as they were able to see the shepherds in the field, learn from the villagers, be turned away by the innkeeper that had no room and see the Holy Family in the stable.
There were also the sights and sounds of a real blacksmith shop, bakery and other shops that were found in Bethlehem at the time of Jesus’ birth. Children were able to participate in craft activities to make the event come to life for them.
The journey through Bethlehem ended with a stop by the manger with baby Jesus.

Ah Ha!! Eureka. It just dawned on me the deep yet subtle message of the second couple, of the inn keepers, next door to the one who had no room..
Do not be so busy, worrying about your riches or what the folks next door are doing to miss the opportunity to witness and celebrate the birth of Immanuel–God with us!
Thank you! It was Wonderful!!! I will admit, I did have to consult my Bible to reread the Christmas Story and check the part about the Inn keepers next door! Lol. Amazing effort to bring the Nativity to life. We loved it. Merry Christmas.
