Event Overview
A Night In Bethlehem — A Bible-Times Christmas Event for Families
Build the faith of moms, dads, and kids alike as they discover Jesus in Bible-times Bethlehem!
During this 2-hour Christmas program, families wander through the bustling Bethlehem marketplace and discover what life was like when Jesus was born.
Unlike your typical “living Nativity,” everyone will create unique keepsakes as they interact with local shopkeepers who share the Christmas story. And…they’ll love talking to Mary and Joseph in The Stable—and hearing about the miracle of Jesus’ birth.
Perfect for ANY SIZE church!
Leaders will LOVE A Night in Bethlehem...
It’s easy to plan—everything is tucked into one convenient kit.
It’s easy to get volunteers—just a handful are needed, and here’s where storytellers and drama fans shine!
And it’s easy to decorate—with lots of DIY tips that transform a few classrooms...a hallway...anywhere...into Bethlehem!
