While attendees are viewing the displayed nativities, Musicians from northeast Ohio churches, music schools, studios and associations will perform.

There will also be a variety of nativities and ornaments available for purchase.

A  non-denominational, multicultural event will showcase nativities from around the world, choral and instrumental groups from across northeast Ohio, and a live nativity.

 "COME TO THE MANGER'S" focus is to highlight the true meaning of Christmas and to share the story of Jesus' birth with everyone. 

How can you become involved? Please prayerfully consider loaning nativities for the show, volunteering for music, donating for the silent auction, helping with set-up or greeting in the rooms the days of the show. We invite youth leaders to bring their youth groups and ask pastors for their help in publicizing "COME TO THE MANGER" to their congregation and church leaders.

First UMC celebrates their 175th year in Cleveland

First United Methodist Church
 Euclid Ave., Cleveland 

One of Cleveland's most diverse congregations - celebrated its 175th year in Cleveland and its 100th year at its present location with two events in October.

A grand concert called "Sounds of Celebration" was held on October 10 for the entire Cleveland community. And church members marked the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone for the church at E. 30th Street and Euclid Avenue with an anniversary sermon from Dr. Kenneth W. Chalker and a group photograph on the church's front steps. "One hundred, seventy-five years is a wonderful benchmark to note and celebrate, “ Dr. Chalker said. "It reveals a trusted history of performance which is a dynamic indication of how we will face the future. I am not sure what the future holds for First Church. But I am absolutely sure that our strength resides in the fact that weknow WHO holds the future. We are content to be in God's hands," he said. The church will wrap up its anniversary celebration on November 23, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, with a look at where the church is today. The event will include the showing of a church video, presentation of a church quilt and a display of a new time capsule to be buried on church grounds. First Church has long been known for its social outreach programs to the city's most vulnerable residents: children, the elderly, the poor and homeless. Its members live throughout Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Lorain counties. Its membership cuts across the boundaries of race, geography, economics, sexual orientation, and even religious backgrounds that often separate people from one another.
