The children of Mission Hills United Methodist Church will be leading the community in re-enacting the journey of Mary and Joseph as they search for shelter in Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus on Sunday, December 10 at 4 p.m. “This story symbolizes how Mary and Joseph were turned down for shelter until one innkeeper made room for them in their manger,” said Rev. Jeanette Bragunier, Associate Pastor of Mission Hills UMC. “We strive to be open and welcoming to all and this demonstrates that even the Holy Family as sojourners were challenged in finding shelter,” shared Rev. Bragunier. The short journey will be narrated in English and Spanish and the public is invited to join in the procession beginning at the church steps and walking through the neighborhood and stopping at several locations to sing carols, before returning to the church for pinatas, crafts, and traditional Mexican refreshments.

The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch will once again allow guests to experience the magic of growing color beginning Friday, March 1, 2024 with a dazzling floral display across the hills of Carlsbad, California. The 2024 theme of “Spring into Color” serves as not only nature’s announcement of the arrival of spring but is a celebration of the working farm’s cultivation of fifty-five acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus: a flower renowned for its large, double-petaled blooms that sit atop tall, straight stems. The season stretches eight to ten weeks each year with a full slate of activities including live music performances, workshops and wellness classes that harness the power of Mother Nature. “The color that The Flower Fields brings each spring extends far beyond our rows of rainbow ranunculus.” says Fred Clarke, general manager of The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. “From the brightly painted wagons that bring visitors into the fields, to vendors serving eye-catching lemonade and ice-cream dipped in sprinkles to the blueberry picking, Sea of Sunflowers and various gardens, color truly abounds at every turn.” The 2024 activity calendar is brimming with programming such as the return of the lauded outdoor music series which features performances by Swingergy, The Derringers, Bill Magee, SoRockBlu, Bayou Brothers, Cool Rush and Michele Lundeen. Sunset Wine Tasting, Flower Crown Workshops and Tea in the Garden will return across multiple dates along with wellbeing classes including Meditation and Sound Healing and Flower Flow Yoga.
