Sanibel Community Church will present the Walk Through
Bethlehem experience on Luminary Night, Friday, December 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. and
on Sunday, December 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. They recreate the imagined strees
of Bethlehem on the night of Jesus’ birth. Different shops, clothing and
customs of that era will be presented with encounters with Roman guards and the
infamous Innkeeper.
“We present Walk Through Bethlehem to holiday weary
families to remind them of the true reason for the season of Christmas. That is
the birth of Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago. We strive to remain as true to
historical data as possible,” said Elaine Donovan, chairwoman and wife of
Senior Pastor Daryl Donovan. “This year, we have added Sunday as an additional
viewing day. The Friday night performances, on Sanibel Luminary Night, always
have long lines that people do not want to stand in.”
Sanibel Community Church was begun on Sanibel Island in
the 1880s. It is a non-denominational church whose mission statement is: “That
every person would come into a
life-changing relationship with the person of Jesus Christ.”
Sanibel Community Church is located at 1740 Periwinkle
Way, next to Jerry’s Market. For more information call 472-2684.
