CTGS Display: The Christmas Tradition

The Christmas Tradition:

Since Christmas of 2003 I've had the amazing chance to bring the Lego Church Project over to Christ the Good Shepherd Parish here in the city of Saginaw, Michigan. Our current Pastor is Fr. Ron Wagner. It is also my home parish. It is a parish that I grew up in.

Though out the years the Christmas display has become one of the longest. Both in the amount of time the Project stays and the number of years it has been going. The first project was Season 4 and this coming Christmas season will be season 19. What a lot of people also don't realize is that for me it is the final display of the current season. I start each season's build around February or March. Then display it though out the entire year. After the Christmas display the project is taken apart brick by brick and the cycle starts all over again. For me this is an extremely important display as I am bringing the project "home". Bringing it to a parish that I love deeply.

Which is why I need some help. I would love to share the word out about this display. I would love to have visitors come check things out. Not only to see my artwork. But also to see the wonderful parish I call my spiritual home. The final display of Season 19 will start around the first or second weekend of Advent and will run till the end of the Christmas Season (around mid Jan). This is my own homecoming and all roads lead to this point. This is the parish I am a member of. It is a parish community that I am proud to be part of. So this is your invitation. If you have never seen one of my projects in person before you are in for a treat! Bring your friends! Bring your family! No one is truly strangers. We are just friends who have not met yet.
