Zion Lutheran Church in Lincoln will
host a living nativity scene in front of the church
at 205 Pulaski Street on Friday evening from 5 p.m.
to 7 p.m.
After viewing the nativity, visitors are invited to
drive by some of the downtown churches and view the
stained glass windows.
Both the window viewing and the nativity will be
“drive by” events so as to assure the health and
well-being of spectators.
According to Sam Opperman, representing Zion
Lutheran, motorists are asked to utilize North
Kankakee Street in order to drive by the nativity.
The best option is to take Broadway Street from
North Logan toward the Junior High School. Turn left
onto Kankakee and drive to Pulaski Street and turn
left to drive past the front of the church.
In addition to the live nativity, Zion and three
other downtown churches will have their interior
lights turned on so that the stained glass windows
of the buildings may be viewed by motorists.
