Bethlehem Village event launched in Waringstown
A community Christmas event set in the village of Waringstown was launched last night (13 December) at a special service in Holy Trinity Church, Waringstown.
The service was attended by the Bishop of Down and Dromore, the Rt Revd Harold Miller, and the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, the Revd Dr Charles McMullen, who gave a short address.
Waringstown Primary School Choir sang two pieces and the local Community Choir also contributed.
Bethlehem Village is family friendly interactive journey through the story of the birth of Jesus, brought to life by actors, music, crafts and live animals. All 1,100 free online tickets were snapped up in just 48 hours.
The event is the result of a partnership between Donaghcloney Parish and Waringstown Presbyterian Church, with the invaluable support of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council.
The tour begins at Holy Trinity Church and local charity Love for Life have offered their facilities to host the village itself.
Around 200 volunteers from the village are involved in all aspects of the event, making it a true community endeavour.
