Dinner in Bethlehem is a Fun Family activity put on by the Children's Ministry on the first two days of December. Families sit together with other families, play games at the table and an even do couple of art projects to keep the younger kiddos entertained through a served dinner. After dinner everyone moves to the Student Worship center for cookies, milk and a family sing along of favorite Christmas Carols. Then the best performance, a story from an angel who witnesses Jesus' birth. It's a great nativity story told in a whole new angle that really helps families to remember and focus on that the true meaning of Christmas is the remembrance birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The next best part was that I got to be apart of the choir of heavenly angels in the play. Me an angel...imagine that!
But I was not the only one with acting abilities on stage. Madelyn made her musical debut as well as Michael during the family sing along on the main stage...hey maybe we could have more kids and be like the Von Trapps from the Sound of Music. Or we could just stick to Prestonwood musicals!
To wrap up the evening, there was a live nativity scene that families could take their picture in front of. It was a great picture, except that Madelyn was so fascinated by the camel next to her that she never looked at the camera.
