Bethlehem Tours @ First Christian Church

[tex]

Last weekend and again this weekend the First Christian Church here in Dodge City corner of 5th and Spruce is having "Bethlehem Tours"

For anyone who was not able to go last weekend I highly recomend going to it this weekend. It will start on Saturday at 6pm and run till 9 pm and again on Sunday from 6 to 9.

I seen a thing in the paper about it. How long is the tour and is it good?

We went to the one in Jetmore last weekend and man, that was awsome. We had a wait period before we started, about 20 minutes, but they served coffee, tea or water with some cookies. Tour lasted about 25 minutes. Don't know how long the one at The First Christian is but get out and go, it will be worth it. We will go this weekend to the one here just to see how it differs from Jetmore, but am sure it will be awsome also.

Sunday Dec. 17th is the last day for the tour. The first night I think about 500 attended and on the second over 600. On Saturday the 16 it was almost 800.

And as for is it good? You bet it is!!!!!!

If you can make it out between 6 and 9 pm its well worth your time. And bring a friend or two.

I would plan to spend about an hour from the time you arrive till your on your way back home, the tour is only about 20 to 25 minutes and with a short time enjoying music and coffee ect. its not hard to chew up a whole hour.

Bethlehem really comes to life, if only for a short time. From the wise men to the baby Jesus, the experence is one I'll remember for a long time to come.

So yes in my oppenion its well worth your time, I've been all three nights and would go again if I could.

I went last night, you couldn't ask for anything better to do with your time! And it is totally free to boot they don't even ask for donations. In my opinion it was something worth while to do in Dodge City!

Helper,

You were right on. The Mrs. and I went last night. It was pretty cool. You could tell alot of people put in alot of time to make it work. I tip my hat to all of those who volunteered.

Tonite (Sun. 12-17) is the last nite. If anyone hasn't gone to Bethlehem, you better get your donkey headed that way.

Ok, went to both tours, Jetmore and The First Christian Church. Both were fantastic. First Christian Church Tour was in my opinion by far the best as they went to alot more time and effort with the setup. But Jetmore's was also great. Next year you all should take both in as you won't be disapointed.

is a bethlehem tour? This has been bugging me the whole thread.

Bubba,

Bethlehem Tour...well, we were greeted by one of the wise men seeking baby Jesus...we were taken on the journey that they took looking for Him. Meeting King Herod, seeing the Roman soilders (sp?) walking through the city of Bethlehem untill we found Jesus in the stable... All the characters in the tour were dressed in that era of clothing...not stupid looking but dressed up like the real thing! It was pretty cool.

Maybe next year you can go. I think you'd like it.
