We need YOU to help us put on A Shepherd's Journey! Click the button below to sign up to volunteer!

The goal for this event, is to create an immersive walkthrough experience for everyone to enjoy! We will have costumes for you to wear and a little bit of dialog for you to talk with guests (don't worry- it won't be too much, and you can be creative with how you do it!). Guests will receive pretend gold coins before going to Bethlehem, that they will get to use in the town to purchase various items such as bread, a bracelet, a wooden ornament, etc. For the townsfolk, this is your chance to be a little rowdy! You want the guests to buy your goods, so you can persuade them to do so.

This event is for children, but if you are serving and your child would like to be there to help you, please let us know and put it in your comment on Sign Up Genius.
