The Journey ~ An Interactive Christmas Story

 

Last Thursday me, Geoff, Lexi, Sara and the boys, and my Mom, Dad and brother went to our church to experience the Journey.  Geoff and I are relatively new members having joined just this year so this was our first experience with this awesome yearly event at Savannah Christian Church.   Most of it is outdoors in the surrounding areas around the church.  We began inside though and passed the time until it was our turn to go by listening to some very good music.  Once we left, we were put into a tribe, given a Jewish name and occupation.  We were herded through the beginning by some very loud Roman Soldiers!  Some of them were even on huge horses!  As we began, we could stop at various places throughout the woods and watch dramatizations about events that lead up to the birth of Jesus. We even boarded a boat and was taken across the …  I didn’t really start trying to take photos until we got into some better lite areas.  This is the 3 Wise Men and some camels.

We had such an awesome evening!  I think it may just have to become an annual tradition.
