Church presents musical

NAPPANEE The Christmas musical “Mary, Did You Know?’ will be presented by the Adult Choir of First Brethren Church of Nappanee on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, Dec. 22 at 10 a.m. Senior Pastor Ken Hunn and the entire congregation invite the community to attend either presentation. Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene penned a song a few years ago that has captivated the imagination of people everywhere. It asks a surprising and intriguing question: “Mary, did you know?’We may never know just how much Mary knew, but this much is clear: She knew God had sent her the Savior and that she would never be the same. David Guthrie and Bruce Greer’s musical takes us on that
