The Walk Thru Bethlehem is coming on two weekends:

Fridays, Dec 4th and 11th 6-9 PM and Saturdays, Dec. 5th and 12th 2-9 PM.

The community is invited to the lively, interactive, biblical-era marketplace with crafts, food and music. They will register for the census and then be led by shepherds in search of a place to stay but instead discover the newborn Messiah! If you haven't ever seen it, this is the year.
We are excited to announce that this year's Walk will be even bigger and better. We are adding more daytime hours to accomodate more families and seniors. We expect over 4000 visitors this year! Save the date to come and invite your friends!
(Volunteers are also welcome, contact us for more info.)

Admission is free but love offerings are appreciated. The marketplace offers a wonderful rich beef vegetable soup, baked goods, hot drinks and gifts. Parking is available on the property. The event is held outdoors. Please dress warmly.

The Walk Thru Bethlehem provides a free holiday family event for the community. The outdoor drama takes you through Bethlehem 's marketplace to the living nativity and beyond.
There have been Walks hosted all around the country for years. We have taken our inspiration from a “Walk” in Georgia that has grown from 10 volunteers and 100 guests to over 500 volunteers with 15,000 guests yearly. Mooresville's Walk is in its 6th year and hosted over 2800 visitors last year.

Camp Wesley , 3090 Deal Rd, Mooresville hosts the Walk for the second time this year. The Camp is centrally located between Mooresville, Kannapolis, Davidson & Salisbury between Hwy 3 & 152.

Camp Wesley was established in 1946 and has been holding interdenominational camp meetings ever since. It is a fitting home for the Walk Thru Bethlehem which is the interdenominational effort of Central United Methodist, First Presbyterian, Lake Norman Fellowship, St Luke Orthodox Church, St. Therese Catholic Church, and Triplett United Methodist Unity United Methodist plus our new partners, Beulah Heights Wesleyan, First Wesleyan and the other associated Camp Wesley congregations.

Please join us in exploring the real reason for the Christmas season. Blessings for a wondrous holiday season.

I discovered this on a blog

I made a few friends the last two weeks as I became involved in a community drama that is jointly produced by several churches in the Mooresville area.
The production involved leading a group through the city of Bethlehem on the night of Jesus' birth. Guests are brought to the city gates as the host explains that they are about to enter the city of Bethlehem 2000 years ago. This is done amidst the reading of the decree of Caesar Augustus that all must be taxed by a Roman official. The host then explains a little of the culture and circumstance regarding this small Judean village.
After passing through the gates, visitors can glimpse the main street of the city with shops, villagers, travelers and of course the occupying Roman army.
Here the guests are introduced to a guide, (that was me) who is persuaded to lead these visitors from a far, far country into the city and perhaps locate for them a place of lodging.
Beginning with the tax collector setting the stage of the oppression the Jewish people under an occupying Roman military we wound our way along the street which was masterfully built to resemble an ancient market.
Each act of the drama was performed with interaction from the guests. Each shop along the market was a scene including an interaction with the town gossip who informs us of an unmarried woman who claims to be a virgin. The people of Bethlehem we met weave a story that leads to the shepherds in the fields. There the heavenly host (actually only one angel, but the effect was good, the angel seemed to appear out of the night sky and then disappear into blackness once the announcement was made.) This lead us back to the stable where we discover the Christ-child just as the angel had said.
Loved it, can't wait to do it again next year.
