[April 22, 2015]  With the theme of “Honoring God with a Faithful Past and a Thriving Future,” The Christian Village is celebrating its 50th anniversary with special festivities on Saturday, April 25.

The day will start with a special ceremony at 9:30 am, in front of the nursing home entrance on Seventh Street. From 10 am to 1 pm, a flea market, children’s activities, a wellness fair and live music will be available. The children’s activities will include mini-golf, carnival games, a bounce house, a super hero photo stand, a petting zoo, a craft station, a balloon artist and a fire truck.

As a thank-you to supporters in the community, a free barbecue lunch will be served from 11 am to 1 pm, as long as the food lasts.

Those attending should plan to enter The Christian Village via Main Street (off of Fifth Street) because Seventh Street will be closed near Postville Drive.

A free concert of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra will conclude the celebration that evening. The concert, sponsored by Shore Builders, Inc., will be at 7 pm in the Earl C Hargrove Chapel at Lincoln Christian University. Tickets are not needed, but seating is limited.
