Christmas Program

Immediately following Potluck

 

Birth of the Divine Baby, Jesus

 

Presented by Dr. Kathleen Corley, Professor of Religious Studies at UW Oshkosh and based on the Gospel according to Luke. Dr. Corley will also present additional information as to why December 25 is the selected date to celebrate Jesus’ birth by most Christian faiths, as well as some of the other commonly recognized aspects of the Christmas Story, like the Star of Bethlehem and the three wise men. She will also talk about other “birth dates” chosen by some religions and why, as well as some religions that do not celebrate the holiday at all.

Input Needed!

 

The Board of Directors is looking for members or interested parties to share their ideas regarding the direction the Winchester Area Historical Society should be headed as well as what our organization should be focusing on. If you have any ideas/opinions and are interested in the society, please contact Joe Olson at 920-716-9229.
