"Return to Bethlehem"

This outdoor presentation is a means for the community and beyond to witness the Biblical account of the night of Jesus’ birth. As a guide travels with a group of visitors back in time some 2,000 years ago, the sights, sounds, and smells of Bethlehem are recreated in the field behind the Wesley Center. With over 400 in the cast and a steering committee of 20 who work year-round, this gift of love from the congregation of Grace UMC has impacted over 35,000 visitors in the eight years it’s been running! The dates for 2012 are December 5-8.

 

Seasonal Plays

The children and youth drama teams will end the year with a presentation in April. Watch the newsletter for more details on the dates for these productions.

 

Drama in Worship

Short skits and readings are used in the LifeSong contemporary service to set up the sermon or to reinforce the theme of the service. No experience necessary…just a willing heart!
