Brenda Steury, Ocean Schertz, and Tim Crooks are with Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 to give you an inside look at the 34th annual Bethlehem Marketplace at Fairview Missionary Church. This immersive walk-through experience recreates Bethlehem the day after the birth of Christ, brought to life by more than 250 cast members and over 300 volunteers.
Hear how the church transforms into a bustling first-century village and why families have remained involved for generations. Ten-year-old Ocean Schertz shares the excitement of portraying a temple student, while Tim Crooks describes his long-running role as a rope maker in the marketplace.
Imagine your own visit through Bethlehem--meeting vendors, temple teachers, Roman soldiers, and finally stepping into the nativity scene. The Bethlehem Marketplace is free to attend and open Saturday and Sunday, December 6 and 7, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Fairview Missionary Church in Angola.
