I am praising God that He opened the door for the Nativity to be displayed. It is very obvious that the hand of God is at work in all areas of our Government. God say’s to be beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. There are many wolves that God needs to remove an replace them with His servants. Only if we as His Children will humble ourselves and pray,and seek His Face and turn from their wcked ways, Then we will hear from Heaven, He will forgive our sins and heal our land!!!!!

Dear Lord God Almighty, who reigns in Heaven above…I thank You for putting this Nativity scene on the grounds of our Capitol through Rev. Mahoney. We love and adore Your Son, Jesus Christ, and we worship Him with all our hearts and souls. I pray that because of this mighty act that many souls will be won to You this Christmas season and beyond and that also many Christians’ lives will be encouraged to take Your Word to those who still do not know of Your Son. It is in Your precious and holy name I pray, amen.

We have done a Live Nativity Scene in front of City Hall for over 50 years. We usually have over 1,000 people come and view it. They listen to the Christmas story with scripture, Christmas songs and gospel presentation.
