Shining a LIGHT in our community

Hay Rides: A Journey to the Heart of Christmas
Step into a world filled with wonder and awe as we invite you to experience the reality of Christmas like never before! At University Drive Alliance Church, we are passionate about bringing the Christmas story to life and sharing the gospel with our community. This year, we are excited to bring back an event that will transport you back in time to the heart of Bethlehem.
Picture yourself sitting on a cozy hay bale, wrapped in warm blankets, as the sound of jingling bells fills the air. Our hayrides will stir up all the warm feelings as you create memories with your friends and loved ones.

Live Nativity: An Authentic Encounter
Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and aromas of the stable in Bethlehem, the unlikely location of a royal birth. What truly sets our Nativity scene apart is the presence of live animals. These gentle creatures provide an authentic touch, reminding us of the humble stable where Jesus was born. As you interact with the ducks, sheep, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of a donkey, let the reality of that first Christmas wash over you. Feel the warmth radiating from the manger and experience the profound love that wrapped around a tiny, vulnerable baby.

Cookies and Hot Chocolate: Sweet Comfort for the Soul
After your enchanting journey through Bethlehem, indulge your taste buds with delightful treats that warm both your heart and your hands. Filling the air will be the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cookies, meticulously prepared by our talented volunteers. Savor the delicate flavors, each bite unlocking the true meaning of Christmas.
To complement the sweetness of the cookies, we invite you to sip on our signature hot chocolate. In each cup, the warmth and love of our Lord Jesus are poured out, filling you with the peace and joy of the season. Engage in conversations with old friends and make new connections as you gather around, united in the spirit of Christmas.

Hot Dogs roasted over an open fire: Warmth for the Body
A special part of our upcoming event is making a joyful comeback! We will provide everything that you need to gather around the warm fire and roast some delicious, tasty hotdogs with your family and friends. It promises to be a delightful experience for everyone involved.

Kid's Activities and Storytelling
We believe that the reality of Christmas should be shared with everyone, including the little ones. As such, we have prepared engaging activities for children to immerse them in the wonders of this special season. From arts and crafts to storytelling sessions, we will captivate their imaginations and allow them to experience the joy and significance of Jesus' birth in a way that is tailored just for them.

Musical Interludes
Throughout the event, there will be opportunities to sing carols, listen to seasonal music, and enjoy interactive live performances.


Join us at University Drive Alliance Church and embark on a journey that brings the reality of Christmas to life. From the hay rides through the streets of Lethbridge to the live nativity, and from delightful treats to engaging children's activities, we invite you to join us in what it means to be lights in our dark world. This year, let us renew our commitment to share the life-changing message of the gospel with our community, one heart at a time. See you there, and may the reality of Christmas touch your soul forever.
