Community invited to come out to serve, celebrate

(Seguin) — Seguin is adding a brand-new tradition to this year’s Holiday Stroll festivities – a tradition that will be powered by the community.

Spearheading the effort with other churches throughout Seguin is Bishop Tim Bird of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Bird says this new attraction, “A Stroll to the Stable” will be added to Seguin’s ongoing traditional lineup of Holiday Strolls from Dec. 4-7.

“A Stroll to the Stable which is a new event that will be going on along with all of the other Strolls this holiday season with Holiday Stroll (Parade), the North Pole Stroll, the Sip n’ Stroll and we are going to have a Stroll to the Stable which will be in old Wells Fargo Building at 101 E. Nolte St. and during those four days, we will have it open from 12 to 9 p.m. for people to come and walk through and we will have on display there hundreds and hundreds of Nativities – things to do for the kids – just a nice reverent peaceful time to reflect and to just spend a free event with your family,” said Bird.

Also, on the line-up each evening will be live music by local choirs, bands, and musicians.

Making the event even more special, according to Bird, will be the collaborative holiday effort of bringing multiple faith communities together.

“We have got plenty of volunteer opportunities to work with this project. We have invited anybody and everybody. We had a wonderful meeting about a week and a half ago with other religious groups in the city and so this is multi faith joint effort that we will be putting together and working towards and there’s lots of opportunities on Just Serve that you can come out and be a part of it and we invite everybody to come on out with their families and visit with us and be engaged in this great event,” said Bird.

Organizers say it will take volunteers of every kind — decorators, builders, greeters, musicians, crafters, photographers, and more — to create and operate the four-day showcase.
