The First United Church of Christ in Plymouth has been hosting its Bethlehem Market for over 30 years, and this Saturday, November 8th, marks the 2025 event at the church, located at 321 North Center Street in Plymouth.
This year, more than 30 artisan vendors are participating, including David’s Courage, Patties Creations, Woll Works by Jamie, The Hand Crafter, and Kattery Kitties. Shoppers will find cutting boards, wooden bowls, pet beds, clay jewelry, holiday decorations, painted items, goose clothing, and much more.
Each year, the Bethlehem Market also boasts a raffle with a beautifully handcrafted item. This year, the raffle item is a beautiful handmade afghan featuring cardinals. Tickets are $1 each or six tickets for $5.
Those attending the Bethlehem Market will also find a fully stocked bake sale with all kinds of tasty treats, and a light lunch of soup and a sandwich can also be purchased.
Proceeds from the annual Bethlehem Market at the First United Church of Christ in Plymouth are returned to the community, as the Women of the Church donate to many non-profits throughout the year.
