Cheers to all who made Christmas so special for the children at Lutheran Day Nursery. During weeks prior to Christmas, Pastors Kevin Baker (Grace Lutheran Church in Elmwood Park) and Erik Christianson (St. Lukes Lutheran Church in Chicago) helped the children understand the meaning of Christmas during our Advent services. Then, our children received wonderful gifts of clothing, toys, and games from the members of Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit (Lincolnshire) and Edison Park Lutheran Church (Chicago). Our families were deeply touched by the generosity of people they had never met! We were also blessed by the Christmas Mouse (Luanne Gegeanis)who visited the classrooms, read stories and distributed a gift for every child. Finally, we celebrated Dia De Los Reyes (Day of the Kings)on January 7 (We were closed on January 6 due to the extreme cold.) Some of the children dressed up like the magi and the children followed the star to visit Jesus. Thank you to all who made this Christmas season so bright!
