Guest Speaker - Holy Land Bethlehem Christian Handmade Carvings

On December 7-8, 2024, we will be hosting a nice display of handmade olive wood religious carvings from Bethlehem that are available for purchase. These carvings include olive wood nativity sets, crosses, Christmas ornaments, candleholders, angels, and many other religious crafts that make beautiful wedding, baptism, Easter, and especially Christmas gifts.

The carvings are handmade by Christian families in Bethlehem who rely on these sales for their daily bread. For several years, Bethlehem Christians have been enduring many hardships, as tourism in Bethlehem has plummeted and access to other sources of income has been sharply restricted due to persecution and the ongoing war. Many Christians left their homeland. The Christian population of the Holy Land went down from 30% in the last century to almost 1% today.

Please help support our Christian brothers and sisters in Bethlehem by purchasing their carvings. George Ghanem, an indigenous Christian from Bethlehem will be standing by the carvings after all services. Let us keep Bethlehem a Christian town forever.

Proceeds support Christian families in Bethlehem. It is never too late to help!
