Join your CrossPointe Family as we travel to Burnet together on Sunday, December 12. We will leave from the church at 4:30pm. Please sign up to let me know if you need a ride, are willing to drive and have room for others, you will provide you own transportation from the church, or you will meet us in Burnet. Please bring a sack dinner and drinks for your family. The Women’s Ministry Team will provide desserts. We will either have a tail gate dinner in Burnet or will eat while we wait in line. Please call or email Terri Montgomery with questions at 560-9402 or tmontgo@swbell.net.
This Christmas, visit Bethlehem . . . in Burnet Texas . . . as the ancient city of Christ’s birth comes alive again.
Feel the anticipation of Joseph and Mary approaching the gates, urgency quickening their steps.
Pick your way through transients, peddlers, the crippled, and aged in the town’s fringe. Experience the presence of animals as they affect all aspects of life in that time . . . camels, donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, and doves.
Explore the narrow streets to faint strains of ancient music and savor the smells of fresh goat butter, campfires, and hot bread. Then immerse yourself in the din of the marketplace; the revelers in the tavern, shouted insults to and from the Roman oppressors, merchants, craftspeople, taxpayers, and beggars all seeking money, or position, or revenge.
Search for the inn, only to find it full (as others did long ago). Then follow the trail to the cave where a road-weary couple has moved in with the animals, their place in God’s plan and secular history to be made secure on this night. For the child in their arms was the incarnation of God Himself, come to the world that all who would place their faith in Him might enjoy eternal fellowship in His presence.
The hours are 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. and Main Street Bethlehem is two blocks east of the town square in Burnet, TX. Admission is free (donations are accepted). Free refreshments served at exit. As this is an outdoor presentation, it is canceled in rainy weather.
