Help bring Bethlehem to life.
Follow the Star
Everything you need to prepare, serve beautifully, and help our community encounter the true Christmas story.
This is more than a presentation.
Christmas in Bethlehem is our church loving on the community and sharing the true Christmas Story. Every role, from the parking lot and gate, to the manger, helps make that welcome real.
(Matthew 22:37-40)
Roles
All of ECF has a role to play, and inviting others to serve is a big part of it. Many hands make light work. Bring your family and consider a behind-the-scenes role: tarp manager, lighting, plants, early prep, painting, handouts, wood-burning signs, and more.
