Journey with us as we relive memories of a simpler time. Written by Kevin & Tami Boesiger, Echoes of Christmas tells the story of selling the family home with all it’s memories and the sacrifice it brings. Sometimes sacrifice is necessary to bring about good. God gave us Jesus to redeem us and bring us back to fellowship with Him. Admission is free and there is no reserve seating. Invite your friends to this annual special event celebrating our Savior’s birth.
