If you stopped by our church on December 6, you heard hammers pounding, smelled the aroma of bread baking, the sweet smell of candy and spices, experienced the laughter and fun as children played games and braided rope. All the shop keepers were dressed in beautiful colorful costumes and the wisemen led everyone to the altar to see baby Jesus. More than 50 adults, teens and children helped in some way to make Bethlehem Marketplace come ALIVE. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and participation. Janet Kleckner
