One Night in Bethlehem

LONG LAKE LUTHERAN CHURCH presents:  A Live Nativity

One Night in Bethlehem

3921 227th Ave. NW, Isanti MN 55040

Come enjoy our Live Nativity presentation, One Night in Bethlehem. In 1997, we began the tradition of presenting the Live Nativity to the community.  This depiction of the nativity story began years ago at Long Lake Lutheran Church outside in the parking lot as cars passed various scenes from that night.  After a number of years outside, the Live Nativity moved from a drive through presentation to one shared within the warmth of the church. 

Come see Mary and Joseph’s long journey to Bethlehem.  Sense the anxiety as they try to find a place to stay in the crowded city as people come for the census.  Feel the joy as Jesus is born and the angels sing his praises.  Imagine the birthplace of Jesus as you encounter the likely other inhabitants of the stable; live donkeys, goats, ducks, chickens etc.. Watch as the shepherds and wise men discover our greatest gift from God.  

This is a FREE event to start the holiday season.  

It will be presented on Saturday December 6, 2025  from 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM Tours of Bethlehem will occur approximately every half hour on the top and bottom of the hour,  Later tours get very crowded, so plan to come early so we can accommodate your group.

There will be a special showing from 2:00PM-3:00PM for those with wheelchairs, special needs and those who need assistance.

After your tour, join others in the fellowship hall to enjoy a bowl of chili or wild rice soup along with others who have experienced a Night in Bethlehem,  A free will offering will be taken.

Sunday December 7, 2025  a tour will occur during our regular worship service at 9:00AM.
