COME EXPERIENCE BETHLEHEM REVISITED

Here are some details to make your experience enjoyable: 

What to wear:
This is mainly an outside event. While there will be time to sit down inside, most of the time will be walking outside. Please wear shoes comfortable for walking and dress according to the weather. 
Where to park
Main parking will be in front of the church, but we will have overflow parking across the street. We will have a parking team that will help you find a spot.  
What to expect:
After parking, you will enter the front doors of the church. You will sign in and be given a tour card with a group number. You will then wait in the worship center (and enjoy the musical performance) until your group number is presented on the screens. You will then be escorted outside to begin your tour. The beginning of the tour is guided by a Roman soldier. When you arrive at the city gates, you will be able to explore on your own. After experiencing all the city of Bethlehem has to offer, stop by the Inn where you will be guided to see baby Jesus. After you leave the city please stop back inside the church and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate in the activity center. 
Other things to know
The ground going to the city of Bethlehem, as well as inside of the city, is mulch and natural ground (aka: a field). This might make wheelchairs more difficult to roll. People still bring wheelchairs and strollers, but there might be areas of difficulties when pushing them, especially if the ground is wet due to rain.
