ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) congregations invite you into your car to drive through Duluth and the Christmas Story. Six Duluth area Lutheran Churches are working together to tell the Christmas story with a lighted display on each campus. To participate, start at Elim Lutheran Church, 6101 Cody St., for the first scene and drive from there to the next five scenes. An accompanying online video (or paper packet) provides the Bible story, reflections, prayer, and music. Displays will be lit from 4:30-11 p.m. through Dec. 25.
Participating congregations, in order of scenes: Elim Lutheran Church, 6101 Cody St.; Our Savior’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 4831 Grand Ave.; First Lutheran Church, 1100 E. Superior St.; Kenwood Lutheran Church, 2720 Myers Ave.; Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 410 N. Arlington Ave.; and Grace Lutheran Church, 5454 Miller Trunk Highway, Hermantown.
