Walk Through Bethlehem

Once again this Christmas, in lieu of the traditional chapel service, small groups (of 20-30) of guests will be taken back in time to experience the little town of Bethlehem, as it may have appeared during Jesus’ time, while they hear the Christmas story.  There will be both English and Spanish tours.
If you’d like to be involved as an individual, family or church please contact Andy Springer at abspringer@sbcglobal.net or by phone at 543-6681
