St. Mark’s, Ocean Park is proud to announce that our mannequins, stereo soundtrack, backdrops, props and lights that create the outdoor presentation of “Journey of Christmas” will launch its 19th season on Friday December 15 for 10 nights. Set in the woods behind the church in South Surrey, this Christmas treat has put Christ first in its celebration of the Christmas season.
The nine theatres feature different scenes from the first Christmas including the shepherds, the angels, Simeone, the three kings and of course, the manger scene. This 22 minute guided walk is shared with close to 1,000 people each Christmas. It is a favourite annual tradition for many while others discover it for the first time each year.
After your “journey”, you are welcome in to our decorated parish hall for hot chocolate, cookies and live entertainment.
