Christmas Live! a family-friendly, 30-minute, interactive journey through creation and other biblically-recorded events is GraceWay’s Christmas gift to Trenton/Hamilton neighbors, as well as its surrounding communities in Central Jersey. It brings to life the stories that surround the events leading up to and including the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that continue to inspire us today. Admission is free.
Last year, over 3,000 attended CHRISTMAS LIVE! a 30-minute walking guided tour (with seating provided for selected scenes) through 11 interactive scenes (from Creation to The Resurrection) designed to make the Bible come alive with the story of God’s love.It was GraceWay’s desire to provide an opportunity for families to rediscover exactly why we celebrate the season with a presentation of key historical events in the Bible. Directed by Fran Emmons, wife of Dr. Richard D. Emmons, Senior Pastor at GraceWay Bible Church, the event is a major project for the congregation and planning begins six months in advance.
“For the last three years, we have had so many in our congregation volunteer their time, talent and resources. We have real sheep, goats, horses, a camel and a chariot that is provided by our members and friends for the production.” says Fran. “It’s a labor of love for all of us”
As the weather is typically cold and brisk in November and December, guests will be invited to warm up inside with hot chocolate and other Christmas sweets. There will also be craft projects for the children and refreshments. Because of the overwhelming response and word of mouth feedback from last year’s guests, Grace Way has provided on-line reservations.
“One of the additions we have made to this year’s tour season is to allow visitors to make reservations ahead of time on the church’s website for their specific time preferences. We are hoping this helps to evenly space tours and prevent long lines“. Of course, walk-ins will always be welcomed”, says Jim Calloway, Assistant Pastor at GraceWay. Calloway also points out that seating will be provided for visitors in selected scenes that take place outdoors, enabling guests who have special needs.
