Wednesday - Journey to Bethlehem

On Wednesday, we will learn about Mary and Joseph's long journey to Bethlehem for the census. We'll also talk about how our country takes a census and what that means.

Luke 2:1-5 (New International Version)
1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.
4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.
