OUTDOOR NATIVITY-25TH ANNIVERSARY

December 2nd, St. Mark's Outdoor Nativity Scene was set up on the front church lawn and it wasn't snowing or 28 degrees !

The Nativity Scene was designed and built in 1996. The figures were designed by two of St. Mark's members, the Miska's. Paul Firlit orchestrated the enlargement of the designs and the cutting out of the figures. Painting was done by the Miska's and Paul Firlit. The figures haves lasted all these years with a few minor renovations and hardware updates. This year marks the 25th time the Men's Club has assembled it and placed it in the front of St. Mark's.

A big thanks and round of applause to the Men Club Volunteers who over the last 25 years have made it possible to have it as part of St. Mark's Christmas tradition. This year, we personally thank, Tim G, Ralph. D, Kevin Z, Paul F, Georgie S, Jimmy G, Joe C, for the setting up of the Nativity.
