The Pitsburg Church of the Brethren will present “Christmas Vacation” on Sunday at 6 p.m. The play was written by Pastor Ken Oren and directed by Pastor Ken and Youth Director Andrea Strawser. The play reminds us of the Spiritual side of Christmas amongst a secular society, and how two families with differing outlooks come to see the true meaning of Christmas. New Dawn Trio will be performing and congregational singing will be included. Refreshments will be served following the concert. The public is invited to come and enjoy an evening of Christmas celebration. The church is located at 8376 Pitsburg-Laura Road, Arcanum. For more info, call Bruce Shank at 937-564-2891.
The Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society invites you to connect with them via Facebook; they recently opened a Facebook page as a way for everyone to see their upcoming activities.
