Our Nativity

Have you seen the nativity we put out each year? Ever since 2016 our church family has place a simple, silhouette nativity scene (yes, including 3 wisemen, it is traditional to include them and lets us keep the nativity out through the Festival of Epiphany). The nativity was crafted by members in the style of traditional German Schwibbogen, candle arches. Before this there was a simple outdoor set this congregation had been using for many years, but it was showing its age and due to a theft several years prior, it was missing a key part.

This nativity scene has been placed outside and projected on the building for several years now The current location of the nativity scene is on the east side of the building (the side farthest from Main St). Not only does the size of the Nativity scene remind us of the importance of that first Christmas (it is a HUGE deal), there is also great symbolism that the Nativity scene is being projected on the altar area.
