“Because of Bethlehem” – a Drive-Thru Experience
is being prepared for the week of Christmas from 12/21 to 12/24. The experience will include four stations. After “staging” in the shopping center across Isabel Dr. from the church, at the time you have reserved, you will be directed to travel to the back parking lot facing the loading dock where you will sing along with some Christmas Carols to music played over an FM station on your car radio. Fifteen minutes later you will be enjoying a live nativity after moving to the front parking lot. Here you will hear the Christmas story, the children will hear a children’s message, and anyone who has participated in the “Reverse Advent Calendar” [collecting food items for those in need] will bring present their “gifts”. The following 15 minutes will be a devotional message at the front porch of the church with Pastor Al. And finally, the candlelight service will be held in the pavilion in the upper parking lot. People will be permitted to exit their cars and stand in car groups as the “journey” through “Because of Bethlehem” ends in prayer and meditation.
Please be sure you are signing up for a time to come through the experience. Slots are filling up and we will soon be sharing out with the community to allow for a community outreach in the slots we have remaining. If you need help signing up, please call the church office. (717)272-7741 or email me (aburton@umcogs.org) Only 1 ticket needed per car. SIGN UP HERE
