Celebrate the Miracle - A Penn Dutch Christmas
December 2nd - 4th, 2008
Additional Dates Are Available Upon Request
Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, the cry from God’s people has been, “We need a Savior.” God heard their cries and sent Jesus Christ, the Messiah, to this earth to redeem mankind from their sins over 2,000 years ago.
Today, we hope you will slip away to the world of Mary and Joseph, their families, and their neighbors in the ancient Israel. Walk where they walked. Feel what they felt. Imagine the questions they might have asked. Experience with them the most astounding event in cosmic history: God became man, and lived among us. May you fully receive the gift of Immanuel, God with us, as you enter that Bethlehem stable today. Earl Grove, Producing Director
