The Market Place is a FREE indoor walk-through drama with sights, smells and sounds of a Judean Market Place. Sample the fresh fruit and fish. Smell and taste the freshly baked bread. Talk to the carpenters, weavers, bakers and see the live animals. Watch out for the Roman Guards, They have been known to arrest visitors to the Market Place. Come and search out the Prince of Peace in our market place.

Santa Shoppe: At Beth Eden UMC

This event is usually held the Saturday after Bethlehem Market Place in December. Church Members donate items throughout the year to be sold in Santa's Shoppe to children up to 12 years of age, to be given to mom, dad, siblings, grandparents, etc. Nothing is over a dollar each and the gifts are chosen by the children, reaped and tagged  for their gift giving. The proceeds form the sale go to children's activities in the church such as work trip, Sunday school, etc.

Cookies Walk: At Beth Eden UMC  

The Cookies Walk is put on at the same time as Santa Shoppe for the parents. Cookies walk goodies are donated by the ladies of the congregation and are sold by the pound. Many delicious varieties are donated and purchased by many who are too busy to bake. Warm cider is served and Christmas music is played during the sale to put all in the Christmas mood.
