The first time Steve Wesner saw a holiday lighting display in downtown Fort Wayne, he was just a boy standing among a crowd of thousands outside the Wolf & Dessauer department store.

Each year, a winter wonderland took over the storefront, a magical, moving spectacle depicting everything good about the Christmas season. People traveled from all over the region to see its big reveal. “It was just extremely fascinating and the crowd would be heavy. You had to wait and work your way up to the front of the line to get up to the windows. People would be standing there as deep as the sidewalk was wide,� Wesner recalled.

Years later, he would stand waiting in similar lines as his own children marveled at the sight. Wolf & Dessauer’s display was a first-rate means to attract shoppers and lure them through its doors. But nothing lasts forever — eventually the lavish window displays were discontinued after the retailer was purchased by L.S. Ayers.

For many, those department store windows are thought of as a beloved childhood memory. But over the past several years, a sort of revival has taken place to

For years, homage to the former department store she has taken part in decorating the tradition.

“We are of that era. We’re old enough to remember Wolf & Dessauer’s windows,�

James said.

Since most Festival of Trees guests used street or garage parking off Harrison, they walked right by the old Indiana Hotel on their way to Embassy Theatre. James saw an opportunity. “There was nothing that would make you want to come to those windows. So I just said, let me do this ‌ What I was thinking, I don’t know,â€? she said, laughing.

Since then, she and her husband, David, have brought the windows to life, revealing them to the public each year during the Night of Lights. The event draws thousands to downtown Fort Wayne to watch various lighting displays turn on for the holiday season, including the former Wolf & Dessauer Santa and his reindeer, and Merry Christmas wreath displays.

The James’ window designs were first inspired by a storybook Christmas tree at the Embassy’s Festival of Trees. “Our windows are a story line,� David said. “When you go to the big cities, each window is a story in itself. But this is like reading a chapter book. Each window tells you a little piece of that story.�

In a matter of weeks, two local members of the U.S. military will board a plane and begin their journey home for the holidays. The free service is provided annually for

For the past 17 years, WLDE has held its Stuff a Bus event each November. But instead of packing the big, yellow bus with children and sending them off to school, the radio station, its partners and the community will fill four buses with food to be delivered to needy families in the area this holiday season.

The 2012 drive is set for Nov. 19-21 with the radio station broadcasting live from Georgetown Square Shopping Center. The first Stuff A Bus drove into the shopping center more than a decade ago. Maureen Partee, with Georgetown Leasing, said the pairing has worked well. “It really has been a perfect fit. Georgetown tries to do different community outreach things and this goes right along with that,� Partee said.

The event, which collected more than 18,000 pounds of food during the 2011 drive, expanded its drop-off locations to four sites two years ago with hopes of collecting even more food this year.

The 2012 sites include: • Georgetown Square, • Rustic Hutch and Travel Leaders on Coldwater Road, • Jefferson Pointe, and • Midwest America Federal Credit Union on Bluffton Road.

The public is asked to bring non-perishable food items and personal and household products. The food will be donated to Associated Churches, which runs 30 neighborhood food pantries. The household and personal goods will be donated to the Franciscan Center to be used in several of its outreach programs.

Johnson illustrates the story and meticulously sculpts the characters before animator Dennis Baker works to mechanize their movements. Kathy describes Johnson as a perfectionist, something she thinks stems from his previous

work as a pattern maker. “I always tell him, ‘Don, you’re too picky,’� she said.

Creating the display is a year-round effort, beginning just after the new year. Once the team of volunteers has settled on a story line, they then sculpt, animate and dress the characters from a workshop.

Elements then are installed in the storefront a little bit

at a time. “What I do is make sure it will fit into the dimensional confines of the space. I have to work on it (in my shop) before it goes into fine assembly in the window,� David said.

There are just 14 inches of work space to move around in once the team begins setting up window scenes at the hotel. “We are constantly changing

They have come a long way: In their first year, the husband and wife team used mechanisms from toys to animate window figures. At the time, they didn’t realize once the figures were installed in the display, freezing temperatures would cause their movements to slow down. But Baker, the son of a family friend, came to the rescue in 2009 with

pneumatics, or air-powered animatronics, which are unaffected when temperatures plummet. The display also improves each year as Johnson adds more handmade figures to its cast of characters, which will eventually give the windows a more unified look and feel, Kathy said.

And with every story line, the community becomes more familiar with Oscar the elf and his haphazard holiday adventures.

This year, a misunder-

standing with sleepy Santa Claus will send Oscar the elf on a wild goose chase to find a “whatchamacallit,� all the while running into colorful characters along the way.

The window’s official reveal is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, during the Night of Lights.

LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE NOW PAIN FREE FROM NECK AND BACK PAIN, WITHOUT DRUGS OR SURGERY, AFTER USING A NEW ADVANCED TREATMENT...

Spinal shots, pills & operations can be a pain in the neck and back. Now there is a new option for those suffering with neck and back pain.

We are revolutionizing the treatment of neck and back problems with a combination of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy with Cold Laser/Active Therapeutic Motion ATMÂŽ2 (over 600 cases) and a new treatment protocol we call Brain Based Therapy.

The combination of these therapies can make all the difference in someone’s success from conditions like: chronic neck and back pain, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, radicular neuralgia (arm, hand or leg pain), sciatica, arthritis and even those who have failed back surgery.

This is why you might do something that you would think should not possibly have caused the level of pain it did. It was your BRAIN protecting you. Brain Based Therapy is a non-drug treatment to improve the brain.

To help re-wire it, if you will, so it is not as perceptive to the pain.

It’s time for you to find out if Non-Surgical Spinal Decompresion with Cold Laser/Active Therapeutic Motion (ATMŽ2) will be your pain solution. For 10 days only, $47 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $257 for!

Call 260-482-2206 by November 30 anytime between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday to schedule your $47 consultation and exam.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy with Cold Laser/Active Therapeutic Motion ATMÂŽ2 gets good reviews from the American Journal of Pain Management that reports a positive relief rate when used on patients with herniated discs, some Are YOU next?

Our office is called Chalfant Chiropractic Center of the leading causes of neck and back problems. and we are located at 5931 Stoney Creek Drive, across from Batteries Plus and next to But sometimes this amazing treatment isn’t enough Cork ’N Cleaver, Fort Wayne, IN 46825. if you’ve been in pain for a long time.

And again, our phone number is 260-482-2206.

WHY???

Once you’ve been in pain for a while your body starts to take defensive measures to protect itself from further injury and pain. The brain starts to learn that an area of your body is weak and injured and takes precautionary measures. An “emergency line� in the nervous system is created so that when there is even an inkling of irritation to this weakened area, your body will start into its protection mode by tightening muscles, telling you that something is wrong by setting off the “PAIN ALARM�.

We have set a high standard in treating spinal related disorders. Our goal is to eliminate pain for our patients and restore quality of life. Our commiment to the treatment of spinal related injuries has lead to the facility combining cutting edge technology with chiropractic care and neurological rehabilitation.

Our clinic consists of state-of-the-art equipment, testing and treatment programs for the best patient outcomes.

Ă€Âˆ`}iĂŠÂœÂŤi˜ˆ˜}ĂŠViÂ?iLĂ€>ĂŒi` After pulling together for decades to get the Maplecrest Road extension constructed, officials from Allen County and the cities of Fort Wayne and New Haven had to

wait a few more days for the weather to cooperate in order to celebrate the project’s completion.

Three days after the new road opened to traffic, elected leaders

and residents gathered with scissors in hand at the intersection of Maplecrest and Nelson Road to cut the ceremonial ribbon.

The celebration —

dubbed “Connecting Communities� — was to have preceded the opening of the road. But a mixture of sleet, rain and high winds on Tuesday forced officials

to postpone the event until today. “The weather may have forced us to change our celebration plans,�

Commissioner Linda Bloom told the audience, “but it wasn’t going to delay the motoring public from using this new road.�

The Maplecrest extension represents the largest infrastructure project Allen County government has ever overseen, extending Maplecrest from Lake Avenue to Adams Center Road in New Haven. It features

construction of 1.5 miles of new four-lane roadway with curb, gutter and four new bridges. Also included are new storm sewers and a multi-use trail.

The new highway is expected to help spur economic growth in the area. Total economic output from postconstruction private investment is projected to exceed $715 million over a period of 11 years, according to a 2008 analysis.

The Festival of Gingerbread at the History Center, 302 E. Berry St., kicks off several special events on Nov. 21- with the Night of Lights.

During the Night of Lights, visitors can get a sneak peek at the handiwork of creators from 5-9 p.m. Admission is only $2 per person at the door.

At 6 p.m. the History Center’s turret will be lit with special holiday colors of red and green. Santa also will be present during the Night of Lights.

A variety of special events will occur during the Festival of Gingerbread. Admission to the festival is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors ages 59 and over and students ages 3-18, and free to children age 2 and under. There is no extra charge for special activities or events unless indicated.

Special events include: • Saturday, Nov. 24, 1-3 p.m., Create Your Own Ornament. $1 plus regular museum admission. • Sunday, Nov. 25, 1-3 p.m., Make a Holiday Greeting Card. $1 plus regular museum admission. • Tuesday, Nov. 27, 5-9 p.m., free night sponsored

by AEP Indiana-Michigan Power. • Saturday, Dec. 1, 1-3 p.m., visit with Santa Claus. • Sunday, Dec. 2, 1-3 p.m., Holiday Story Telling. • Saturday, Dec. 8, 1-4 p.m., Science of Sugary Structures sponsored by PNC Bank and Science Central. $3 plus regular museum admission. • Sunday, Dec. 9, 1-4 p.m., Cookie Decorating Party. $1 plus regular museum admission.

Special holiday exhibits during the Festival include a Wolf and Dessauer display of animatronic characters, an exhibit of “A Christmas Carol� watercolors that once adorned the Patterson Fletcher department store and a display of holiday photos from years past.

LIGHTS vĂ€ÂœÂ“ĂŠÂŤ>}iĂŠĂŠ n baseball with the elves.

The new displays, and those before them, have been commissioned by area families and businesses to reflect the sponsor.

Each takes a few months to design and manufacture. This, Gilmore said, makes a trip through the Fantasy of Lights a unique experience every year. “The majority of our displays are original designs,� Gilmore said.

That, she said, is one of the reasons more than 10,000 cars travel through Franke Park each year. “There’s nothing out there like the Fantasy of Lights.�

Gilmore said AWS clients often stop out and help, whether collecting money from cars or wearing a Santa hat and waving at the cars as they enter. In addition to clients, several non-profit and service groups come out to assist the foundation with one of its largest fundraisers each year.

“We rely on volunteers to work every night during the display,� Gilmore said. “We are always looking for groups to help this year or people to sponsor displays in 2013.�

Any group interested in assisting with the Fantasy of Lights can call Gilmore at 7446145.

Long after the lighted displays are packed away — AWS stores and maintains each one in the offseason — the funds earned in the six-week span will help the foundation carry out the mission of Anthony Wayne Services — to assist infants, children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities.

The cost to enjoy the AWS Fantasy of Lights is just $5 per car, a cost Gilmore said has stayed constant in recent years.

The city’s street department collects leaves in two separate sweeps through each neighborhood through Dec. 7.

Leaf collection can occur on any day of the designated collection week (see sidebar). The city asks that residents have leaves ready for pick-up by 7 a.m. on Monday of their neighborhood’s designated week. Crews cannot backtrack through neighborhoods.

Leaf collection is provided at the street only. Leaves are to be raked to the curb or park strip in front of the residence or placed in biodegradable bags for collection.

The Maplecrest extension also is expected to provide a safer, more efficient route for motorists.

The connection of area streets and roads to the new highway will alleviate

obstructions caused by two sets of high-volume rail lines and the Maumee River. Also, traffic congestion in the area is expected to be reduced.

Approximately $31.4

million has been spent on the project — well under the engineer’s projected cost of close to $50 million. A final figure is not expected for several weeks.

Music is one of the most beautiful aspects of Christmas.

The holidays’ musical bounty creates opportunities to broaden musical horizons — either as an appreciative audience member or as a musicmaker.

For children who love to sing, the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir very possibly could become like a second family.

Now in its 40th season, the FWCC is an afterschool arts program for 251 children ages 8-18 from diverse backgrounds.

Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Steuben, Wells and Whitley counties are represented.

Artistic director Jonathan Busarow joined the FWCC because of his passion for music and his desire to find new ways of sharing music education with all children.

Denice Beights, who has been with the choir three years, said she loves working with the choir because “it is making a difference in the lives of our children, as well as the arts scene.�

Sometimes children who don’t “fit in� at school find a family with the choir.

Beights said a young man, who has been with the choir six years now, said that at school he was an outcast. “He couldn’t behave, and often was treated poorly by students and teachers because of his behavior,� Beights said. “He didn’t know how to act, how to fit in. However, at choir, he feels like he belongs. “He learned how to express himself, and ultimately, be part of something bigger than himself. He plans to continue through graduation. He doesn’t dream of being a professional musician or music educator, but he can see how the choir has given him the opportunity to create something special, and to be a part of the final fabric.�

sing, he or she should be singing with us. We encourage any child who has passion and enthusiasm for singing to be a part of the choir.�

The choirs are: Prepara-

tory (they do not perform), Apprentice, Lyric, Whitley Regional, Treble, Concert (touring choir), Youth Chorale and Chamber Singers.

Twenty-two percent of

the members receives financial assistance, so financial barriers should not stop a child from being involved, Beights said.

7AYS TO AVOID PACKING ON HOLIDAY POUNDS "Y -ETRO #REATIVE Eggnog, turkey and stuffing, assorted pastries — the holidays are as much about the food and drink as they are about sharing good times together. So is it any wonder that many gain weight during the holiday season?

Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases have found the average person gains a pound a year from holiday eating, which accumulates and can lead to health problems later in life.

But there are some lucky few who seem impervious to the goodies, staying thin despite the extra holiday food. How do some seem to stay so thin all of the time?

According to Men’s Health expert and editor-in-chief David Zinczenko, who has spent more than 20 years interviewing all sorts of leading weight loss experts and

reviewing various studies, “What separates the fit from the fat is a series of rules.â€? These rules are easy to follow and they don’t require any special exercise equipment, crash dieting or subsisting solely on wood chips to keep fit. Here are some things to consider during the holidays and as you make healthy eating resolutions for the new year. • Stop dieting. Some studies indicate that individuals who are currently on a diet are more likely to gain weight in subsequent months or years. That’s because restriction of fat and caloric intake can affect muscle growth and bone density. Muscle burns calories very well, so you want to hold onto strong muscles. Also, carefully monitoring what you eat can lead to stress hormones flowing through the body. Hormones like cortisol have been linked to weight gain. So ease up on watching every bite of food you eat and you just may be happier — and thinner — for it.

#OURTESY PHOTO

$ON T LET YOUR WAIST EXPAND DURING THE HOLIDAYS • Choose high-protein foods. Protein fills the stomach and takes a longer time to digest in the body, which in turn helps you to burn calories. Selecting lean proteins, like turkey, chicken, lean beef, and pork, can help you to feel fuller longer and reduces the chance you’ll nibble on fluff snacks during the day. When faced with holiday fare, choose protein sources to fill you up before indulging on other items. • Fill up on fiber, too. Studies indicate that getting 25 grams of fiber, which is easily achieved by having three servings of fruits and vegetables, can boost fat-fighting efforts of the body by at least 30 percent. Many processed foods are increasing fiber content, but be sure to read labels. That fiber may also be accompanied by a lot of sugar and extra carbohydrates. Fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grain breads are easy ways to get a fiber boost. • Engage in fun exercise. Many people equate staying thin to spending hours at the gym every day. But all it takes is about 20 to 30 minutes of any type of daily activity, whether that be chasing around the kids or playing fetch with a dog. The concept of losing weight just by doing enjoyable activities is known as non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT. So go for a bike ride and burn 200 calories in the process. • Skip fat-free foods. It would seem foods that have no or low fat would be better for you, but fat is actually a necessity for the body — helping you to feel satiated.

Eating a fat-free item could have you feeling hungry soon after and ready to snack later on. In addition, some fatfree items have extra sugar or preservatives for flavor, which can undermine weight-loss plans.

• Don’t be a couch potato. Get up from that computer chair and cut down on television watching. A sedentary lifestyle can easily pack on the pounds. A study by researchers at the University of Vermont found overweight participants who cut their daily TV time in half (from an average of 5 hours to 2.5 hours) burned an extra 119 calories a day. Remember when you were a kid playing with your friends outside from sunrise to sunset?

You probably weren’t overweight then. But adults now spend more time indoors, and all that time spent in front of the tube could be hindering your weight-loss efforts.

If you follow a few easy rules, there finally may be a way to stay thin without dieting, even during the holiday season.

Whose recipe will cause cookie envy? Look

Wheelock Rd

Cooking is one of those things that makes me feel at home again. Growing up, it was what we did as a family back when family dinners weren’t altogether uncommon.

My mother could effortlessly drum up a delicious dinner for four, all while singing and dancing to a good song on the radio.

When my husband isn’t there to catch me in the act, I find myself doing the same thing in my own kitchen. (Thanks, Mom.) While I didn’t inherit her fine skill for song and dance, I did become a pretty good cook. But I just can’t seem to bake a good cookie.

There I said it.

I’m not proud of it, but it’s true — I am no stranger to the botched batch. I just can’t understand it — why can I bake cakes, pies and pastries with ease, but struggle to execute a good cookie?

Allow me to explain cookie envy: it’s what I feel at cookie exchange parties when the group describes what they baked to send home with guests

and I have little bags of scary-looking, dry hockey pucks to offer them ‌ they just don’t know it yet. Sure, I could throw them away and try to pass off store-bought cookies as my own, but everyone else worked so hard, and on top of that, I’m incapable of lying.

But maybe this year, I could be the one causing cookie envy ‌ with your help.

Times Community Publications now is accepting entries in its first ever Holiday Cookie Challenge. Here’s how it works: Choose a delicious recipe you think makes the prettiest Christmas cookie.

Then, whip up a batch at home and take a photo of the finished product.

Send us your photo and recipe and be entered to win a $50 gift card to Country Kitchen Sweetart.

Submitted recipes will be pinned to our “Holiday Cookie Challenge�

Pinterest board on Monday, Nov. 26. The recipe with the most repins by Friday, Nov. 30, will take home the prize.

NIPSCO supplies natural gas to customers in most of northeast Indiana.

Over the course of the five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO said its average residential customer would use a total of 624 therms and could expect to pay approximately

$438. That compares to $440 for a customer using the same amount of gas last winter. “Market prices for natural gas continue to hold at historically low levels, thanks in large part to plentiful domestic resources,� said NIPSCO’s CEO Jim Stanley. “This is great for our customers, especially as we head into the winter heating season, when utility bills typically reach their highest point of the year.�

The event’s destination, while a secret, will be fun for all, said organizers.

There will be a special

The cost is $99 per person and includes transportation, museum

Cocktails and shopping are not included and guests are encouraged to enjoy those on their own.

Not getting an anterior hip replacement at FWO.

Fort Wayne Orthopedics performs hip procedures using the “Anterior Hip Approach� 90% of the time. What does that mean to you? It means that you will be up and around the same day with less post-operative pain. Most of our patients say that they have less pain going home than they did when they came in. If therapy is needed, it can be done at home.

And best of all, you can go back to your normal daily routine – and the things you love to do – without restrictions.

The annual Remembrance Tree display provides the entire community with a touching way to commemorate loved ones who are gone but not forgotten.

The public is invited to place a personalized ornament on the tree on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A special dedication will take place in the hospital’s main lobby at 12:45 p.m. The names of loved ones will be read at that time.

Volunteers will paint a family member or friend’s name on the ornament which is provided free of charge. People can opt to write a note to or about the loved one that will be placed inside their orna-

ment.

Special ornaments will also be available in memory of fallen heroes from the armed forces, fire department or police department. Each ornament will remain on the tree until shortly after the New Year, at which time they may be picked up at Lutheran and taken home as a memento.

K105 FM on-air personality Dude Walker is excited to return again to help decorate ornaments and greet guests. Area choirs and musicians will share songs of the season throughout the morning.

Nurses from Lutheran Hospital help plan this special activity.

This is the fourth year for the Remembrance Tree event at Lutheran. The public may call 435-7704 for more information.

Non-profit groups pick up and sell tickets to the Magical Day of Giving event for $5. The groups keep all of the money for themselves.

It is a way for each nonprofit to raise funds while funneling shoppers to

Jefferson Pointe. Newman said more than 20 businesses are signed on to participate. Some offer a percentage discount while others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like Chick-fil-A â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are offering something free.

Newman said some groups, like the Columbia City Swim and Dive team, sold approximately 750 tickets to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, which netted the team more than $3,500 to

purchase new towels, a scoreboard and other equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is open to any non-profit looking for a fundraiser. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven to be a great idea,â&#x20AC;? Newman said.

Tickets are available for non-profit groups to pick up and sell. Organizers need only to call the mall office at 459-1160 to reserve their lot of tickets.

Individuals can pick up tickets on the day of the event at the mall office and will be able to choose which charity will receive the proceeds.

Some deals available on the Magical Day of Giving include: â&#x20AC;˘ A free original or spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A, â&#x20AC;˘ Twenty percent off your entire purchase at Clairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Accessories, â&#x20AC;˘ Free â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secret Cardâ&#x20AC;? with a $10 purchase at Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secret, â&#x20AC;˘ Forty percent off an entire purchase at Justice, â&#x20AC;˘ Ten percent off at The Buckle on all accessories, â&#x20AC;˘ Door prize for free Debrand Fine Chocolates, â&#x20AC;˘ Fifteen percent off all purchases at Cold Stone

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain amount of satisfaction in winning a national award for a product you and your staff put your heart and soul into.

Just ask Blaine Stuckey, co-owner of Mad Anthony Brewing Co., which recently won a gold medal in the Great American Beer Festival national beer competition, the largest commercial beer competition in the world.

Stuckey, who lives on Jimmerson Lake, said the more than 500 brewers that put out top-quality

products have a shot at winning top honors in national and international competition such as the Great American Beer Festival. You just never know if your beer is going to be honored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a shocker. I was pleasantly surprised,â&#x20AC;? said Stuckey, whose company is headquartered in Fort Wayne and has a restaurant in Auburn.

This is the second time Mad Anthony has won an award at the Great American Beer Festival competition. The other time was in 1999 for its Auburn Lager, which received a silver medal.

Stuckey said he was pleased to see so many small, independent brewers from the Midwest, particularly Indiana and Michigan, do so well at the competition.

He said a lot of good beer is being crafted in the Midwest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of that is happening,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Co-owners with Stuckey are Todd Grantham, brewmaster, and Jeff Neels, director of restaurant operations.

The restaurant planned for Lake James is going to be at the former site of Branch McCrackenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hoosier Basketball Camp at Bledsoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach.

Seven Indiana breweries won three gold medals, three silver medals and one bronze in the competition.

Worship Briefs Get ready for Advent

End-of-life care seminar planned

The ladies of St. Michael Church, 2131 Getz Road, will host an evening of relaxation without the holiday hassle on Dec. 3 from 6-8 p.m. to prepare hearts and minds for the season of Advent.

The evening will begin with a Nativity Walk followed by Christmas music, singing and desserts (diabetic desserts also will be available). The guest speaker for the evening will be Michigan resident Rose Fremer, who supports the need for a nativity set in every home as a way of teaching about the birth of the Lord.

Fremer will share the story of how she began the Nativity Set Ministry.

Nativity sets will be available for purchase from Fremer, to help support her ministry. Admission is free but a free-will offering will be received to offset the expenses. Any remaining funds will be donated to St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nativity ministry to purchase nativity sets for future community outreach clients in 2013.

Register for the evening by emailing connies home@hotmail.com.

Emmanuel Lutheran Church (Soest) will host a seminar on the ethics of endof-life care on Nov. 1 from 6-8 p.m. at the church, located at 9909 Wayne Trace.

The church will examine how Christians are to respond to physician-assisted suicide becoming a legal option in some states and increased acceptance of arguments that the quality of life should determine the length of life.

The session will look at end-of-life issues from the perspective of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word while attempting to provide some practical guidance for those times when difficult decisions must be made for loved ones or ourselves.

The guest speaker for the event will be Rev. John T. Pless, an assistant professor of pastoral ministry and missions at Concordia Theological Seminary.

The event will examine the Christian ethics in the realm of end-of-life care and decision-making. There is no cost to attend and refreshments and childcare will be provided.
