BETHLEHEM A.D. REDWOOD CITY
December 2, 2009

THIS IS AN AWESOME EVENT. A MUST SEE TO ENJOY THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS!
(Of course, this is a picture of the real Bethlehem)
This event is free for the entire family. Bring warm clothes since you can park your car (recommended) and walk through Bethlehem. It can get chilly. There is a drive though for disabled on one night.
Visit on December 21, 22, and 23… 6:00 – 9:30 p.m.
1305 Middlefield Road in Redwood City…
This event is in it’s 16th year is a living recreation of living in the village of Bethlehem on the night of the first Christmas.
Children especially love seeing the live sheep, camels, llamas, Brahma bulls, and donkeys wandering through the village. If you are careful, you might even spot the Three Wise men as they carry their gifts in search of the newborn King.
Outside the village, visitors waiting for their turn to enter, can choose to listen to an audio tape (in English and in Spanish) explaining the historical context of the original Christmas. The mood outside BETHLEHEM A.D. is as lively as within the village walls. Roman centurions mingle with Redwood City police to help direct traffic as Bethlehem villagers mingle with modern-day sojourners standing in line. Searchlights crisscross the night sky, pointing the way to the manger. Music fills the air and a sense of joy and anticipation permeates the entire city block, as well as a deep sense of community uniting people of diverse cultural, religious, and economic backgrounds.
After leaving Bethlehem, visitors receive a Certificate of Pilgrimage and can choose to cross the street to Peninsula Christian Center where free refreshments (hot coffee, cider, and homemade doughnuts) are served on the festively lit patio. The church sanctuary is warm and inviting, allowing for personal reflection about the experience, with a live video feed of the manger and village. Traditional Christmas carols are sung between times of prayer and reflection. The community room is alive with children and families enjoying refreshments and fellowship.
For anyone searching for the real meaning of Christmas, the answer can be found within the walls of BETHLEHEM A.D. Once you make you first pilgrimage to BETHLEHEM A.D., you will find that this journey will become one of your most cherished Christmas traditions!

Skateboarding Park
November 13, 2009
This is just great to have a place for the kids to go after school to show their expertise at skateboarding. I found this place by accident driving down San Carlos Ave. This is located just behind the Church of the Gatherings. These boys were really good. I enjoyed watching them.
