For those who are new to Benton Methodist, Journey to Bethlehem is our annual Christmas gift to Benton and surrounding areas. If you haven’t been through the Journey, it is postcard scenes depicting the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our actors dress in the costumes provided and they stand in a scene for 30 minute shifts (the live donkeys, sheep, and goats do not stand still but provide comic relief). This is a free event for the community.
