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 8 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.
