Bethlehem Christmas Gift Market

Each year, the Union Presbyterian Church's Mission Committee invites the congregation to consider purchasing alternative gifts from the Bethlehem Christmas Gift Market. The Market allows us to purchase mission gifts in the name of a friend, relative, neighbor, or other loved one.

On December 4th and 11th, the Market table is set up after worship in Ferren Hall. When you make a purchase, you will receive a beautiful Christmas gift card along with your gift inscription; then you can send the card to the person of your choice. Gifts are available in all prices. Here's the Bethlehem Shopping List for 2005:
