FESTIVAL OF NATIVITIES

The Festival of Nativities is coming to Trinity Lutheran Church on Friday, December 5, 2025 from 4:00-7:00 PM.  The community will be invited to come and view the variety of nativities displayed throughout our church.   We will have a Living Nativity from 5:00-7:00 PM outside of church and Christms Carolers! Supper will be served.

Do you have Christmas Nativities to share?  Would you be willing to bring your nativities to our church on Thursday evening, December 4, between 3:00 and 6:00 PM to set yours up?  Nativities will be set up throughout the church.  We will have coverings on some tables; however, we ask that if you can bring a cloth or other special touch to put with your display and/or a table to put your display on, that would be wonderful.  All types of nativities are welcome both large and small, old, and new.  We would also like to have on display anything you may have that has a nativity on it such as ornaments (if you have an ornament hanger that would be perfect to display it on), snow globes, blankets, wall hangings, etc. If you have a wall hanging, please bring an easel to display it on (or contact us so we know how many easels to bring).  When you stop and think about it, there are so many styles of nativities, some very decorative, some very simple, some old, some new, some handmade, some purchased, some especially created for children, etc.  We would love to see them all.  We ask that you take your nativity down at 7:00 PM on Friday, December 5, following the Festival of Nativities. 

The community will be invited to this special event here at Trinity.

There will be a sign-up sheet on the library unit so that we can get an estimate of how many nativities to plan for.  We will also have information cards near the sign-up sheet.  We ask that you take as many of the cards as you would like (one for every nativity item that you plan to bring).  This year, we would like to type up information cards ahead of time to place near the nativities. 

Please contact Karen & Wes Anderson if you have any questions, 320-297-0122, 320-297-0121 or wdtoursappleton@gmail.com
