Caroling 2018

Lorna Boggs, through a Thrivent Action Team, organized a special day of caroling for the Weekday School and church.  Below find some pictures and commentary.

The Weekday School group gathered before making the craft project (many not pictured) 

The above two pictures show the kids making Christmas Stars from clothespins.

After making the Stars they colored pictures to give away with the stars to those we visited in caroling.  Before leaving for caroling we had a pizza feast!

Carolers at our first stop the Neligh Care and Rehab Center, then we went to Antelope Memorial Hospital and then Pioneer homes.  Following caroling we returned to the church for hot chocolate and cookies.  We had 30 youth and 10 adult carolers!

Rev. Dr. Jonathan and Deaconess Cheryl Naumann serve the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) as missionaries based in the Dominican Republic. As the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) regional chaplain, Jonathan provides pastoral care to LCMS missionaries and their families in over 10 countries. He also teaches future Latin American pastors at the LCMS seminaries in this region.
