These creche figures are found in many Ada homes and churches this week. They each may have a different look, but they each represent the Christmas family. This one is in First United Methodist Church.
The Icon offers viewers a modern version of a familiar story.
In the seventh year in the reign of Obama, legislation passed that all U.S. citizens be counted in the county where their ancestors had settled. This unusual census was when Kasich was governor of Ohio and Jordan was fourth district representative.
Jose from Lebanon, Ohio, with his young housekeeper, Maria, who was nine-month’s pregnant with someone else’s child, and who Jose had intended to marry, drove to Ada in Jose’s 1996 Mercury Cougar. This was because Jose was a great-great-great-grandson of Dr. H.S. Lehr, Ada pioneer and founder of Ohio Northern University.
We’ve collected holiday photos from the Icon and from two Ada Facebooks.
We put the photos in a box, wrapped them in decorated paper, tied a ribbon around the box and placed the box under your tree.
Our photos are from Ken Collins, Monty Siekerman, Fred Steiner and from the Ada school Facebook and Ohio Nothern University Theatre Department Facebook.
