North Liberty United Methodist To Present Cantata A tradition by the area's oldest church, the North Liberrty United Methodist Church (1832-1985) will be continued Sunday, December 15, with the presentation of the cantata, "There'll Always Be A Christmas". The choir cantata is a Christmas story in song with lyrics by Frank L. Cross and music by John M. Rasley. It will be done during the worship service at 9:30 a m. Directed by Madelyn Nelson, the accompanists will be Caroline Shupert on organ and Betty McCormick at piano. Narration will be by Dr. Gaylord Saltzgaber, pastor of the church. Soloists will include Becky Burch, Betty Peddycord, Elaine Wagner, Bill Hartman, Max Steele and Julie Camblin. A duet of Ann Camblin and Joyce Knepp, as well as a quartet comprised of Bill Hartman, Elaine Wagner, Forrest Dunnuck and Becky Burch will be featured. The Chancel Choir is dedicating the cantata to the Saltzgaber family as this will be the final Christmas season for Pastor Saltzgaber, serving an 11th appointment at the church. This same cantata was also done in 1975, the first year of Pastor Saltzgaber's tenure in North Liberty. so it will be an annivesary in several respects. The public is invited to attend. The children of the church will be enjoying a Christmas party in the afternoon at 2:00 p.m. It will be in the form of a "Birthday Party For Jesus", with the children bringing gifts of clothing to be given to needy children in the area.
