Church of Master United Methodist
Invites Families to a Jerusalem Marketplace
"This year we're transforming our church and Camp Sugarbush into the Bible times city of
Jerusalem," says Pastor Todd Anderson. "Our Jerusalem Marketplace
program will provide fun, memorable Bible-learning activities for families. Each
day kids and adults will join with a small group that's named after one of the 12
tribes of Israel. These family Tribes will come together for singing and then
explore traditional Bible-times family life. They might visit the Synagogue school,
play authentic games, or sample Middle Eastern snacks. Families will even
explore the Jerusalem marketplace where they'll become apprentices in the
Pottery Shop and make dreidels in the Carpentry Shop."
"Jerusalem Marketplace is an exciting way for everyone to learn more
about the amazing things Jesus did," says Pastor Todd Anderson. "And the best
part is that they learn by becoming immersed in authentic Bible-times culture.
Kids and adults will witness real-life dramas in the center of town, chat with
shopkeepers about what Jesus has said and done, and discover what it was like
to live when Jesus did. We hope Jerusalem Marketplace will make God's Word
very real to the people in our community."
Jerusalem Marketplace begins on July 7th and continues through July 1th. For information, call 614-882-2153.
