Alternative Gift Fair
The Alternative Gift Fair is a Bethlehem tradition that provides the opportunity to buy a unique gift for that special someone while supporting others around the world. Each purchase provides an informational gift card that explains what the gift is, what organization is providing it and how it is helping individuals and communities around the world. Choose a school book for a child in Tanzania, or a goat for a family in Ethiopia, or shoes for a student in India.
You can purchase your items online until December 19.

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brene Brown
This fall, we're in the midst of a study on Abraham and Sarah, two characters from the Bible who risked everything when God said, "Go." Brene Brown's new book will help us consider what might be the biggest risk we take - vulnerability. With candor and humor she explores "wholehearted living" and discusses shame, gratitude, forgiveness, authentic relationships and more. The presenter is Allison Siburg, a recent M.A. grad from Luther Seminary. Read the book and bring your favorite quotes, or just come and listen. Register.
