Brian Stephens was a picture of concentration as he moved pallets of granite pavers around at Stephens Natural Stone. On one side of the yard, granite slabs in an array of colors waited to be cut into pavers to use for patios, driveways, courtyards or walkways.

Living Nativity brings Christmas night to life

When cars entered the driveway of Discovery Baptist Church last weekend, they were transported into another era in another land. They entered the City of David on Christ’s birthday. The mock village was crowded as the census, ordered by Caesar, brought many Jews into Bethlehem, including Mary and Joseph. “We have vendors selling goods and shoppers and census takers, everything you’d see in the city at that time,” said Gayle Shriner, who brought her donkey, Melchizedek, for a live performance.
