Walk to Bethlehem 👟👢👞🥿 From Maryann:
Are you taking part in our Walk to Bethlehem? Let’s review what has happened since I invited you on our journey to Bethlehem and the start of Advent. The journey started September 19th when I reminded you that our ancestor Moses wondered for a long time to an unknown promised land. It wasn’t easy for Moses and the Israelites and it took a very long time. Now we are moving to a known place, Bethlehem for the start of Advent. For every hour of movement each week we move one ribbon closer to Bethlehem as depicted on the clothesline on the sanctuary wall. Will you get to Bethlehem for the start of Advent?
