Luminary Walk
First United Methodist Church of Hot Springs
ADMISSION is a new stuffed animal that will be donated to a child in need.
Please REGISTER using the ticket link in this event & join us for this very different theatrical walk-through Christmas program based on making connections between different lights we see around Christmas time and the light of Jesus. This program uses skits, scripture readings, and Christmas carols that will enlighten everyone to the truth of how we can use the various lights of the Christmas season to point us to Jesus’ birth.
The setting for this program is a living room, set with a fireplace. The first few scenes will involve very low lighting. Each scene will use a different form of lighting that “Clara”, “Nora”, and “Dad” will use to connect the “Lights of Christmas” story to the story of the birth of Jesus. To combat a dark night, the family will come up with different ways to use the light they have to remind them of the greatest gift of light that the world has ever known!
You DO NOT want to miss this interactive theatrical performance! It will be a one-of-a-kind program to help you truly focus on the real reason for the season!
