Week 5 2016 Walk to Bethlehem, PA Fitness Challenge

Week 5 2016 Walk to Bethlehem, PA Fitness Challenge
Welcome to Week 5 of the Walk to Bethlehem, PA fitness challenge sponsored by the Woodleaf UMC health ministry program! This week includes November 13 through November 19.

Dr. Phillips Brooks wrote the beautiful lyrics for the beloved Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem" after visiting Bethlehem. Seeing the countryside must have made a profound effect on him. Lewis Redner finished writing the tune for the song on Sunday morning, the day it was first sung. Those of us who tend to procrastinate can have hope that perhaps some of our best work may come close to the deadline!

Click here to hear a version of the carol with Nat King Cole. And here is another example with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

"And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us." Luke 2:15
