United Valley Parish Christmas in the Barn Service
Halstad, MN — The United Valley Parish invites all to experience the story of the birth of Jesus in a life-like setting, albeit colder than it likely was in Bethlehem on that very special day. Their 11th annual Christmas in the Barn will be held this Sunday, December 18th at the Jeremy & Dawn Paulsrud Farm just across the river from Halstad. Faye Delong with the United Valley Parish, which includes the churches of Halstad Lutheran and Immanuel Lutheran in Hendrum, says the Christmas in the Barn service will include a live nativity, music, and more.
DeLong says the experience of hearing the story about the birth of Jesus while in a barn is something very unique and special.
And because it’s not in a formal church setting, DeLong adds that the Christmas in the Barn service has typically been very inviting to those outside their congregations, which is exactly what they hoped for.
The service will begin at 5:30pm this Sunday. Please dress warm. The Paulsrud Farm is located approximately two miles south of Highway 200 on the first road west of the Red River. Look for a giant illuminated star.
