Come early before worship to sample German desserts and hors d’ oeuvres, fellowship with others, interact with German fun and culture, and join the children parading outside with lanterns. What might you bring? A stein, a photo from Germany, or a Gingerbread house for the contest are possibilities.

Gingerbread House Contest: Bring your “made by you” gingerbread house to the Taste of German Christmas gathering at 6:15 p.m. Judging and awarding of prizes will be completed that evening, so you can take your entry home with you. Questions can be addressed to Megan Schultz or Martha Smyth.
