Join others from Memorial as we take a fresh look at these ancient words. - Youth Small Group: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM
The city of Bethlehem will soon come to life in our parking lot. Before you know it December 10 and 11 will be here and the 2022 drive-thru nativity story will be presented once again!
Village people are needed to make Bethlehem a bustling city. Saturday and Sunday nights will be from 5:30-8:30 pm. There will be two 45-minute shifts with refreshments in between. This is a great way for entire families to participate together. You will enjoy the food and fellowship provided for cast members and workers, and most of all, the fun of being in the village and a part of this production.
If you have previously participated, or are new to this event, please call or email Tim Lyons and let him know of your desire to be in the cast this year. You may reach him by email at tlyons00@gmail.com or 336-259-6920 by phone.
Volunteer today! Be a part of this gift to our community.
Whether you rented a space or came to shop, helped clean up or baked goodies, worked behind the scenes or welcomed our community…THANK YOU. Our event was a tremendous success!! We look forward to our 17th Gifts Galore on the first Saturday in November next year!
