Nativity scene display at St. John United Church of Christ this Sunday

[November 21, 2012]  The St. John United Church of Christ Charity Guild is sponsoring a Nativity scene display on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the church, 204 Seventh St. in Lincoln. The community is invited to share in this program as the season of Advent approaches.

The display will include placards describing the origin of each Nativity scene or how it was acquired and who is the owner of each. Some very small displays, hand-painted sets, the very old handed down through generations and one made from cornhusks are just a few that will be featured. The huge, lighted outdoor scene and the stable scene for the sanctuary will also be on display.

Cookies, punch, coffee and tea will be served by the Charity Guild.

Questions about the event can be directed to any of the officers: Karen Birnbaum, president, 732-2592; Marlene Wilmert, 732-2659; Selma Wilham, 732-3326; or Tonita Reifsteck, 732-9796.
