THE HOLY WALK THIS FRI. & SA T. IN BREMEN
You are invited to come, share with us this year the true meaning of Christmas, Christ’s birth, during the Holy Walk of 1995. This is the 15th annual Holy Walk staged by the community of Bremen. This joint effort is produced by, the Bremen area churches this Friday and Saturday, Dec. 8 and 9. i On Friday the Holy Walk will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. and on Saturday the Walk will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. By reservation only a time on Sunday, Dec. 10, can be arranged from 5 to 7 p.m. Persons attending the Holy Walk begin their journey at the Bremen High School gym where they are entertained while they wait to board a bus. Buses leave every 10-15 minutes throughout the evening. Once on board the bus, a guide will share the biblical history of the walking journey they are about to take. Departing the buses, travelers are greeted by Roman soldiers and these soldiers become an ever present harassment for the rest of the walk. The travelers become families traveling from some part of Judea to Bethlehem to pay taxes. They must go there because the emperor has commanded them to do so! Everybody must go! Even a young pregnant wife, Mary, who travelers meet on their way, must go with her husband, Joseph. There are so many travelers that the inn in Bethlehem is full. Still they must go on through the crowded village to pay their taxes. The village people are friendly and warn them about the Tax Collector. The Tax Collector is mean and demanding.
Travelers are relieved to leave his tent. Families head to the stable in hope of rest. The stable is occupied by the couple they met earlier. She has given birth to a child. Travelers are filled with joy at the beauty of this child. They have experienced the birth of Jesus! Travelers experience many things upon their journey, including; shepherds, angels and wisemen. The walk concludes at a barn where cookies and hot beverages are served. Visitors come from all over the Midwest. The wait in the gym can be over three (3) hours with the last group going through at 1-2 a.m. Once people have registered at the gym, they will sometimes leave to find a bite to eat or find something to fill the time. Doors will open early each evening. The Holy Walk never ends until all visitors have gone through the Bethlehem village. A limited number of reservations will be taken for Sunday. These reservations are the date, not for a certain time slot, so, it is still first come, first served among reservations. Reservations can be made by calling 219/546-2042 or 546-2667. No admission is charged, however, a free-will donation may be given at the barn, where refreshements are served. The high school is at 511 W. Grant Street. You are reminded to dress warmly as the walk will take an hour or more in farmland. It is suggested that you don your boots, winter coats, parkas, etc. The Holy Walk was first started in 1980 and there were about 500 persons who
attended the Sunday School Class pageant. The highest attendance was registered in 1990 with 9,200 persons making their spiritual pilgrimage to see the Christ Child in the Manger. Glenn's Lady Cagers Pound Oregon-Davis Coach Scott Hostetler’s Lady Falcons completely dismantled the OregonDavis Bobcats 75-34 Saturday night in girls high school basketball action on the local hardwood. It marked the first time that both Glenn’s varsity girls and boys teams played on the same night as part of a double header and proved to be a big success for the local teams as the Falcons also easily won the boys game, 73-47. The outcome of the girl’s game was never in doubt as the taller and more talented Falcons quickly took control of the tilt and never looked back enroute to a 16-4 lead at the end of the first eight minute period. Although play was a little sloppy at times, the winners continued to pull away in the second stanza to a comfortable 40-19 bulge at the intermission. Even though the Bobcats were clearly outmanned, they continually beat the Falcons to many of the loose balls and caroons off the boards much to the displeasure of the Glenn skipper. Still Hostetler’s club managed to widen the gap to 58-27 at the end of the third quarter. In a closely officiated game the Falcons were whistled for 21 fouls and the visitors were called for 22 violations. The Falcons were able to connect on only 16 of 33 attempts from the charity stripe while the Bobcats nailed 12 of 16 tries. The Falcons’ Angel Dietrich peppered the nets for a career high 23 points to take game scoring honors. Sophomores Heidi Wasteney and Bridget Honaker scored 17 and 10 points, respectively. Junior Tracey Futa was also in double figures for the Falcons with 10 tallies. Bobcat sophomore standout Erin Parrish finished with 13 points to pace her team. TWO HOME GAMES NEXT WEEK The Falcons will entertain South Central’s Satellites Monday night and Northern State Conference foe New Prairie Wednesday evening. Both contests are scheduled for 6 p.m. tipoffs. BOX SCORES Oregon-Davis fg ft tp T. Ferch 2 2-3 6 S. Schroff 1 0-0 2 J. Payne 1 2-2 4 E. Pearish 5 3-4 13 J. Singleton 2 1-2 5 A. Noble 0 2-2 2
