Trinity Alliance Church had the most wonderful display of Christmas Nativity scenes this past weekend.
More than 200 beautiful crèches in multiple shapes and forms were creatively displayed throughout the sanctuary of the church and the fellowship hall.
For those who enjoy the Rahr-West Christmas in the Mansion, be sure to put this Christmas display on your calendar for 2005 as well. It is not to be missed.
