On Nov. 21 at 6 p.m., RHEMA Bible Church will once again hold its annual “flip the switch” ceremony to illuminate a brilliant display of Christmas lights on the RHEMA campus, located at 1025 W. Kenosha in Broken Arrow. The lights will shine until 11:30 p.m. each night from Thanksgiving Eve through New Year’s Day. Admission is free.
The spectacular extravaganza of Christmas lights, first introduced in 1982 with approximately 60,000 lights, draws thousands of visitors each year. Young and old alike travel from all over Oklahoma and the surrounding states to enjoy the radiance and splendor of this holiday display.
The lighting crew met its goal last year of illuminating the park and campus with 1.5 million lights, and they plan to do so again this year. Now in its 25th year, this renowned light display gets an addition that goes with the times with music. For the first time, lights in parts of RHEMA Park will be synchronized to Christmas music. More than 100,000 lights, moving in perfect harmony, will make for unforgettable memories for the entire family.
In addition, the congregation of RHEMA Bible Church invites the public to attend “Christmas at Bethlehem Gulch,” presented by the children of RHEMA Bible Church on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 10 a.m. in the church auditorium. On Dec. 15, KXOJ 100.9 FM presents the Third Day Christmas Offerings Tour with special guest Jars of Clay. More information and tickets are available at www.kxoj.com. Carols, Candlelight, and Communion, a special service on Christmas Eve, will be held Dec. 24, at 5 p.m. in the RHEMA Bible Church Auditorium.
