Logan
County community looks forward to Harvest of Talents
[OCT.
16, 2000] The
17th annual Harvest of Talents for World Hunger will be
on Saturday, Oct. 28. This year’s activities will take place in
and around the Fellowship Center of Lincoln Christian Church and the
nearby Lincoln Woman’s Club building.
This
festival has become a true community event, an opportunity for
people from many church backgrounds to come together in a common
cause. That cause, of course, is the meeting of human needs that
arise as a result of natural disaster. In the past 16 years, over
$651,600.00 in Harvest of Talents funds has been translated into
food and medicine for suffering people in dozens of settings on
every continent of the world. Together, as a community, we can add
significantly to that amount this year, as once again every dollar
will be given to International Disaster Emergency Services (IDES), a
Christian benevolent organization.
Contributions
of the following kind are being accepted for this year’s Harvest:
In
addition to these donations, the public is urged to attend, eat
breakfast (homemade rolls), and/or lunch (delicious vegetable soup),
participate in the Harvest Auction or the new silent auction, and
enjoy the fellowship and community spirit of Harvest Day.

Dr. Sidney Greidanus
[OCT.

Greidanus
will lecture at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 17, and at 9:30 a.m.,
Wednesday, Oct. 18, in the Earl C Hargrove Chapel Auditorium on the
LCCS campus. His two lectures will address the topics of
"Christ-Centered Preaching" and "Preaching Christ
from the Old Testament." There also will be a sack lunch at no
charge and a question-and-answer session with Greidanus from noon to
1 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 18, in R49 in Restoration Hall.

Greidanus
has served as both pastor and professor in the United States and
Canada for more than 30 years. He is a graduate of Calvin College
and Calvin Theological Seminary and has an earned doctorate from
Free University in Amsterdam. He has published numerous articles,
sermons, and book reviews, as well as three books: "Sola
Scriptura: Problems and Principles in Preaching Historical
Texts" (1970), "The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text:
Interpreting and Preaching Biblical Literature" (1988), and
"Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary
Hermeneutical Method" (1999). His books have served as
textbooks for numerous preaching classes in Bible colleges and
seminaries in North America. His book, "The Modem Preacher and
the Ancient Text," was named Book of the Year by Preaching
magazine in 1990.
The
Webb Lectureship is named in honor of John M. Webb, dean emeritus
and former professor of preaching at Lincoln Christian College. The
lectureship is free and open to the public.

Germanfest planned
[OCT.
7, 2000] Germanfest,
sponsored by St. John United Church of Christ, will be bigger and
better in its second year, according to chairman Wayne Mara. Heading
the list of additions are a second tent and a craft fair. The event
this year will be from noon to 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 21, at the
church, 204 Seventh St. in Lincoln.
Erecting
a second tent makes possible a larger dance floor and outside
seating for all diners. Whether eating or dancing, all participants
can once again enjoy the lively music of Johnny Stuper Polka
Express, which will play from 1 to 5 p.m.

year, will be joined by a craft fair offering stained glass,
candles, ceramics, wood objects, embroidered sweatshirts, fabric and
quilted items, and framed antique postcards. Tobias Embroidery &
Screen Printing, Aper's Crafts, Stitches by Darlene, The Kindling
Box, Candles Galore, Barb's Ceramics, The Grand Illusion Stained
Glass Lois Leonard, Rock-A-Bye quilts, Crafts by Donna Goetsch
& Jean Donath, and Crafts by John Berglin are among the

the family of distinguished theologians who led the church in the
1900s and 1910s, are among German artifacts to be displayed.
Traditional clothing, ornamental objects, books and food items will
also be shown.

Thousand Villages is a consortium of artisans from impoverished
countries. Many decorative objects, toys, Christmas decorations and
nativity sets will be available for purchase from their display at
Germanfest.

offerings. Takeout meals are also available, and extra brats can be
