Pageant captures Christmas spirit
By KENDACE BORRY
WILLOW STREET - A
sense of the true meaning of
Christinas can be found at
the Boehm’s United
Methodist Church Live
Nativity Pageant. The final
performance of the
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 24,1977
Mcrnj Christmas
May you and your family find peace,
hope and love this Christmas Dayl
program, which is set for 7
p.m. tonight, December 24,
is put on by the youth of the
church who use their
imagination and resour
cefulness to capture the
spirit of Christmas.
The pageant has become a
tradition at the Willow Street
R 1 church, where it was first
performed eight years ago.
The idea, originally thought
of by church member Mis.
Mary Wise, has grown to
become an half hour
production, with four dif
ferent scenes, a musical
background, and scripture
being read by the Rev.
Dennis R. Snovel.
The action centers around
a slab wood stable which is
rebuilt every year for its
special use in the pageant.
