We went to Trinity's Christmas Journey tonight to experience Jesus' life story. Our guided tour for the journey was a MOPS (Mother of Preschoolers) friend of mine. She did a great job narrating. The tour started in the church with a short drama of creation, Adam and eve, and sacrificial ceremony. During our brisk cold walk through the woods we heard about Isaiah's prophecy of the Eternal Father, Virgin Mary, Joseph and Mary's journey to Jerusalem, Jesus' birth, Jesus' death, and Jesus' resurrection. With the smell of bon fires in the air we heard the significance of the candy cane, star on the Christmas tree, and Christmas bells. After our walk we went to the teen center inside the church for cookies, hot chocolate, and crafts (the kids made Christmas ornaments). Our hostess Deborah asked the kids what their favorite part of the Journey was and they both said baby Jesus. She also recommended that we dip our candy cane in our hot chocolate. Yum.
