You can view items and place bids at https://www.32auctions.com/HospitalLumiere2022. Most items have free shipping/delivery available. This annual fund-raising auction is a critical part of Hospital Lumiere’s funding and your support is very much appreciated.
• Living History Nativity: Saturday, December 3 from 10am to 3pm at Heidi's Farmstand
• Our goal for the Living History Nativity is to present Jesus Christ as a real historical human being, not just a religious fable like zeus and thor. During the day on December 3 at Heidi’s Farmstand, each reenactor has the opportunity to share the Gospel message from their character’s historical perspective through the true events of Christmas. There are many ‘living history’ sites such as Greenfield Village and Williamsburg where people dress in historical period clothing and role play historical figures. No one questions if George Washington or Caesar were real people. By presenting Jesus Christ in this way, our prayer is that many people will consider the words He taught, the life He lived, the death He died, and the power of His resurrection.
• There are sign up sheets in the lunch room at church for all sorts of participants in this event. Set up helpers, animal cleaner uppers, food cookers, hole punchers, donut givers, reenactor angels, wise men, shepherds, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, Simeon, Anna, etc…
• The Tuesday night before on November 29 all participants and their families are invited to a private showing of ‘The Mystery of the Christmas Star’ at the Car-Fles Planetarium at Muskegon Community College at 5 or 5:30 PM (your choice of show time). Afterwards we have a room reserved at Pizza Ranch nearby to discuss the Living History Nativity duties, reenactor scripts, and the awe of God coming to live among us. Oh, we will also have pizza to eat.
• Please invite your acquaintances, friends, and neighbors to attend and pray that people will come and consider the truth of Jesus Christ, Saviour.
• Questions can be directed to the planners: Lena Stoller, Gary Blough, Luanne Kaeb, Heidi Stoller, Laura Kaeb
