The Living Christmas Story

The Christmas Story
Thursday, December 1 through
Saturday, December 3, 2011
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm, each night
Bethany United Methodist Church
118 West 3rd South Street, Summerville

For the past 16 years, hundreds of Summerville residents and those across the Lowcountry have begun their holiday season with a visit to The Living Christmas Story in historic downtown Summerville. For three nights, the Bethany parking lot is transformed to depict life as it was 2,000 years ago in the days leading up to and on the night Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Visitors drive through a candlelit path with 19 scenes beginning with the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary and ending with baby Jesus in the manger. Along the way blacksmiths shape iron in marketplace shops, shepherds watch their animals and families wander through the streets of a long ago place. King Herod sits on his throne and issues his decree while the marketplace is bustling and Mary rides through the town on a donkey looking for a place to rest. The Living Christmas Story is Bethany UMC's annual gift to the community and a way for many families to set the tone for a season of thoughtful giving and to focus on God's gift of His son to us all. You are invited to celebrate the Christmas season with an event the whole family will remember.
