CHILDREN OF ST JOHN'S
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
AID KOREAN ORPHANS
St. John’s Luheran Church in
Palmer will have is children’s
Christmas program on Christmas
Eve, December 24, beginning at
7:30.
The program will again show
the Christmas Story in colored
scenes, the narration by the chil
dren of the Sunday School and
special music by the church choir.
It will be followed by a short
candle lighting service in which
the audience will participate.
Gifts and candy will be given to
all children who attend the
Christmas eve program.
This year the special theme of
the children’s Christmas obser
vance will be the sharing of
Christmas joy with less fortun
ate children in other lands, Rev.
Edward Imme said this week.
It is hard for us to realize the
suffering that exists in the world
while we are so blessed, he said.
In Korea alone there are 5,000,000
homeless refugees and 50,000 or
phaned and homeless children
roaming the country looking for
scraps of food or trying vainly to
find their parents. One of the
more tragic aftermaths of the
war, Rev. Imme pointed out, is
that these children are constantly
blundering into unexploded land
mines and booby traps left by
the Communists, so that by now
30,000 children in Jtorea have had
arms or legs amputated and
Korea is but a small part of the
world story.
As part off their Christmas
program this year, the children of
St. John’s are going to take a
free will offering as their Christ
mas gift to the children whose

It is amazing how much we
can help by our gifts, Rev. Imme
stated. For example, through the
agency, Lutheran World Relief,
$100 will provide food and shelter
for a starving Korean orphan for
a whole year. Fifty dollars will
feed 125 refugees for a week.
Twenty-five dollars will supply
an orphan child with three cups
of milk a day for more than a
year and only 20 cents will pro
vide a penicillion injection for a
sick child.
The spirit of Christmas is the
Spirit of giving and sharing and
we have so much and they so
little. We must help them live.
On Christmas Day the Church
will hold regular Christmas ser
vices beginning at 11:00 a.m.
