Christmas in the Heartland
November 04, 2009
The Christmas season is once again upon us. Everyone is busy trying to find the right gifts for their loved ones. We often forget to slow down and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas. Bethany Lutheran Church will once again be hosting an exhibit of the Nativity. The exhibit will include many different sets and ornaments representing views of the Nativity form different countries. We have been hosing this event for 9 years now and every year it seems to get bigger. There are new representations of the Christmas story added each year. The variety and beauty of the workmanship is unbelievable! From wood and ceramics, to cross stitch or chocolate, we expect to have over 500 different nativity scenes and ornaments this year. Some have been handed down from generation to generation. One of the oldest is close to 90 years old. Many of these are heirloom pieces and are greatly loved and treasured.
The exhibit will be held at Bethany Lutheran Church on Sat Nov. 28th form 10:00-4:00 pm and on Sunday Nov. 30 from 12:00-3:00 pm at 20577 Twp. 550 (780) 998-1874, approximately 5 miles East of Josephburg on the correction line. There is no fee to take in this event and everyone is welcome.
So slow down a bit, come on out to the country and take time to relive the Nativity story through this wonderful exhibit.
