Oakwood Church in Becker will be conducting their seventh annual Journey to Bethlehem live nativity Dec. 21-22-23 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Becker Furniture World. Pastor Gerry Bass and his assembly of congregants brave the elements each year to remind people of the true reason for the season.
The event is free of charge to guests who come and drive through the event. It’s an ideal situation where interested parties can experience the Journey to Bethlehem straight from the comfort of their own vehicles.
Visitors are guided through the scene by Oakwood Church volunteers who are in costume to entertain and educate people on what the Bible teaches about God becoming man over 2,000 years ago.
The drive through the stations takes less than five minutes and as people exit, they will be given candy canes with a poignant message. They will also be invited to gather at the church just a few yards away to warm up with delicious refreshments of hot cocoa, coffee and cookies in the church.
