64th Annual
Nazareth to Bethlehem
Christmas Peace Pilgrimage
Saturday December 9, 2023
We intend to walk this year and planning is under way.
We are looking forward to walking together in 2023! We are planning to end our walk with a simple meal and fellowship together at Christ Church United as in years past.
Safety for our community is our priority.
We are requiring N95 or equivalent face masks for the bus. (To protect yourself and others, particularly our beloved elders, we encourage you to get a Covid-19 booster and flu shot!)
Please register to help us plan how many buses we need.
Help us spread the word by Liking our Facebook Page and sharing with friends!
