Preparation has begun for our largest outreach of the year...Walk Through Bethlehem! We are celebrating 25 years of sharing the Christmas story with our community and this year will be very special. Our desire is for everyone at Simpsonwood to be a part of the event in some way. The sign ups will be available soon. There will be spots for serving in the shops, in the Nativity scene, serving Hot Chocolate, or even just helping with hospitality. There will also be ways you can help preparing the village before the event.
Please pray about how you will serve.
