Sunday December 19th - 4:00pm - Meet in Old Town Square

Las Posadas is a Latin American tradition during which Christians go on walks in solidarity with Mary and Joseph as they look for room at the inn for Jesus’ birth. During this procession, Christians go on long walks often in the cold, stopping along the way to hear scripture, pray and sing.  Sometimes they carry statues of Joseph, Mary or the baby Jesus, or they dress up as the Holy Family. While they walk, typically in the cold of night, the Christians find solidarity with people in their local communities, such as the homeless, who have nowhere to rest their heads.

Inspired by Latin American Christians, we will take part in a simplified Searching for the Inn experience on December 19th.  This year we will walk in procession around Old Town Fort Collins, stopping periodically on the way to pray and remember the people in our community, especially the refugees and the homeless, who have nowhere to rest their heads. We will walk with candles that represent Christ’s light guiding our way and sing some songs too. 

Donations to Lutheran Family Services’ refugee resettlement program will be collected at the end of the service.
