A huge, huge  thank you for our Bethlehem team! We started meeting last January to plan, build, construct, prepare, set up, and take down an outdoor Night in Bethlehem.  There are 10 precious people who work all year for Bethlehem, making it a two night gift to our community.  Those precious 10 servants of Christ are Debbie & Don Nelson, Sue & Tommy Owens, Becky & Robert Wheat, Mark Clemons (who also stayed overnight to make sure our sets stayed in tact), Judy Harder, Tres Parish, and Clint Brown.  Please thank them for their hard work to make  Bethlehem such a wonderful ministry event.

Also, I am so grateful for those who helped set up, take down, and costume, as well as all our actors and actresses who gave their time to share the story of Jesus’ birth. Donna & Jesse Hinton, Sue Stewart, Julie & Reagan Boles, Caleb Boles, Kendall Boles, Linda & Rob Ward, Elisa Keese, Cortney Hawkins, JeAnn Carpenter, Isabella Hawkins, Aidan Hawkins, Barb & Brian Bowers, Jack Bowers, Luke Bowers, Sadie Bowers, Roy Shields, Roger McCormick, Jodie & Van Hooten, Stephanie & David Clarke, Jamie & Matt Riordan, Cayden Brown, Beth Ann Brown, Suzanne Harston, Janice & Don Francis, JD Templeton, Becky & Josh Watkins, Ben Watkins, Marsena & Bob Alley, Paula Brucker, TBC Custodians, & Pastor John. Thank you to Lanie & Bruce Ebelt and LaVerne & Rick Boles for being available in the hospitality tent during the event.

I’d also like to thank those who shared their animals with us.  Trey Dittmar for providing the sheep each night; Cortney Hawkins, Barb & Brian Bowers for allowing us to use their goats for Bethlehem.
