If you drove out Hopkinsville Road recently at night as you passed Cedar Bluff Baptist Church you could see lights shining behind the building, some smoke rising into the air, and possibly sounds of animals or people talking.
When you approached the action you would find a city created that gave a possible insight into what Bethlehem may have been like the night Jesus was born. Pastor Mark Faughn and the church membership had prepared a walk-through experience to remind everyone about that night in Bethlehem.
When you entered the town you would register for the census and then walk around visiting the various shops selling goods and then come to the center of attention being a manger. Chadd and Kayla Morris portrayed Mary and Joseph, Chadd shared it was a blessing to be a part of the presentation.
