The capital is huge and beautiful on the inside. The tour includes both House and Senate chambers, as well as all historical areas.

December 18th – The Star of Bethlehem Program
Time – 7:00 pm to 8:30pm Place – Ranger Bruce’s home
Bring chairs and cookies. Hot Chocolate and a warm fire will be provided.
Why were the Magi chosen to follow the star? The Magi were a specially named tribe in the list of Median tribes. They were a pastoral people greatly occupied with religion, astronomy, and other sacred sciences. The Magi were the only ones who could have understood the meanings of the signs. They were great teachers of kings and people in divine wisdom. They were a priestly or sacerdotal tribe, after the style of Levi, among the tribes of Israel. They were ministers and prophets of their day. Their religion was the noblest and least corrupted of all the ancient world. It was from them that Cyrus selected his priests of Persia. So you can understand why these Magi eagerly clung to the hope of the fulfillment of the primeval promise, and continued to observe the heavens and the inspired lore of the skies. They didn’t want to miss the sign noted in the prophecies, of the great virgin born son of the sovereign God. And behold, they found the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They found HIM! What exactly was the sign, the wise men saw in the east? They understood the significance of the signs that the Lord God Creator had placed in the heavens. Now you can learn what they knew and know why they made this journey across the desert. “When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy” Matt. 2:10-11 - And you can almost hear them say, “BEHOLD, HE COMETH” Come join in and listen to the story of a savior that was to come. It’s written in the stars above us to see every night. The heavens really do declare this glory. Cost $35.00 per family. The Star of Bethlehem study guide will be available also. Written by Ranger Bruce - Cost – $10.00. Reserve your spot by calling 916-725-3630 or email sparky3777@gmail.com.

Hansen, Owen, My Mom, and I all had an absolutely wonderful adventure yesterday visiting the Fort and Coloma. We learned so much and appreciated your knowledge and insight. The kids that drove along with us surely enjoyed it, too. A few of us winded our way up to the monument, which was well worth the trek. Thanks again for an AWESOME day. Blessings, Colleen B.
