Cantata Will Be
Presented At
Trinity Church
The cantata. “A Voice In The
Wilderness”, introduces a fresh
new concept of the birth of
Christ. Beginning with the cry
}of John; the Baptist in the wil­derness,
“Prepare Ye The Way
of the Lord”, the cantata moves
directly to the beautiful account
of the birth of Christ and the
purpose of His coming to earth.
It- then presents the challenge
that faces Christians today to
tell this story to all . . . “They
Know Not The Way of the Lord”
. . . “Who will Tell Them the
Gospel Story?” . . . and finally
concludes with a radiant song
of testimony . . . “I Learned of
the Way of the Lord”.
The .cantata will be presented
by the Senior Choi-r/of-Trinity
15. C. Church, on Sunday eve­ning,
December 15 at 7 p.m.
The narrator will be Mr. Harold
Swisher. Soloists will include:
Mrs. Pat Nicodemus and Miss
Betty Zercher, sopranos; Mrs.
Nancy Dietz and Mrs. Peggy
Masterson, altos, and Mr. Wil­liam
Hornberger, baritone. Mrs.
Warren Newcomer will be the
organist and Miss Betty Zercher
will direct the Choir.

Unit Will Be
E. C. Church
The congregation of Trinity
Evangelical Go n g r e g a tional
Church approved plans to erect
a new two-story Educational
Unit at a meeting held recently.
The construction program is es­timated
to cost $207,500.
The proposed addition will be
erected at the rear of the exist­ing
church building and is lo­cated
in a manner which will
permit proper maintenance of
both the church and adjacent
property. Two corridors will
separate the new building from
the church.
The first floor plan indicates
space for Nursery, Kindergarten
and several other classrooms,
plus a study for the Pastor. The
second floor is primarily com­posed
of two large classrooms
for primary age children and
grades four through nine.
The Cedar Street entrance to
the new facility will provide
space both inside and outside for
church members as they enter
and depart.
The exterior elevations have
been designed . in a . manne^
which will render' them compat­ible
with the existing structure.
On the Cedar St. side a stone
facing similar to that on the
present Church will be used.
The new stone work will be
separated from the church build­ing
by the new entrance.
The remaining exterior walls
will be faced with brick topped
with a stone coping. Window
sash and frames will be vinyl-covered
to reduce the annual
maintenance costs. The south
fascade will be treated with nor-rrial
fdn'estratiOn and the same
brick will be used as on the
other walls.

Flames from a trash fire in a protected area behind the General
Sutter Inn got out of control Wednesday morning about 9:30 a.m. and ruin­ed
a fiberglass enclosure. The heat from the fire cracked and broke eight
windows in the rear of the building. The Lititz Fire Department was called
to extinguish the blaze. Fire Chief Ammon Shelly said the blaze evidently
had started from a cigarette tossed into the pile of papers. Damage to the
property was minor. The photo was taken at the height of the blaze before
firemen arrived.
