Journey to the Nativity

Sunday December 13th from 4:30-9:30.

We're so happy that you've chosen to take this Journey to the Nativity.   Amid a year of sadness, fear, and anxiety for many, we are all being called to trust and rest in the Lord and await the coming of Jesus.  We hope that these stations will help you reflect on God's never ceasing love for you and your family, even in a very imperfect world.  

You'll begin your journey by looking for the light in the sky, just like the Wise Men were drawn to Jesus by a star.   (The light will draw you towards 31165 Huntington Woods Parkway in Bay Village).

Once you reach the beginning of your path, you'll follow the map below.  At each station, please take some time to read the corresponding reflection that can be found in this blog. 

We've also created a Spotify play list that you can listen to along your way.  Songs have been especially chosen for each stop.  The titles of the songs for each station are included in that station's blog post.

This is the quick link to the playlist.  Enjoy!!

Journey to the Nativity Playlist

(Open Spotify and go to the Search option.  Make sure Spotify can access your camera. 

 Click on the camera icon and scan the code.  Make sure to turn off the "shuffle" option on the playlist.)

At the very last station, we'd like you to pick up one of the small candles we'll have waiting for you there.  Please bring and leave this candle with Baby Jesus at the Nativity Scene outside of Saint Raphael Church  (on Dover Center Road Bay Village) anytime on the evening of Christmas Eve.  

Blessings!
