live nativity HAYRIDE

AVON WESLEYAN CHURCH HOSTS ONE OF ONLY A FEW LIVE NATIVITY HAYRIDES OFFERED ACROSS THE USA.

This unique hayride will take you on a narrated journey to experience some of the key events before and after the birth of Jesus Christ. You will travel back in time and encounter these scenes:

​

• The angel Gabriel visiting Mary

• The Roman soldiers taking a census of people

• Joseph and Mary traveling to the City of David

• The shepherds in the fields and their visit by the angels

• Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in a stable

• Jesus' ministry to people

• The cross and its meaning for us today

​

This outdoor event features live drama and animals that will provide a memorable experience for you and the whole family. There will also be an area where people can get up close and feed animals. Afterwards, enjoy free hot cocoa and cookies in our indoor Bethlehem village. Over 1000 people have attended each year, and in 2023, we welcomed nearly 1,700 people. We invite you to come and share in this unique and memorable event.
