Return to Bethlehem


Join ABCCM at Groce United Methodist Church to experience the Bethlehem marketplace as it could have been during the time of Jesus' birth! Return to Bethlehem is a family-friendly event and a wonderful way to build excitement for the season as you experience the market stalls, Roman guards, the temple and even the manger where the Holy Child sleeps. This is the 30th anniversary of Return to Bethlehem!

Groups of seven or fewer people will each be assigned a Hebrew family name and wait in the sanctuary until the name is called, during which time guests can enjoy a variety of holiday music.

Return to Bethlehem is ABCCM's gift to the community and there is no cost to attend. Donations are welcome.
