A little piece of old Bethlehem in the neighborhood

Parishioners felt the spirit of the season during a living Nativity presentation at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

Congregation members and Sunday School students donned Biblical costume and took to the stage as Mary, Joseph and the Three Wise Men to re-enact the birth of Jesus Christ as part of a Christmas pageant at the house of worship, 440 Ovington Avenue, whose hallowed sanctuary was filled with the sounds of Yuletide music.
