Christmm celebrations plwme
d
By Leslie Forbes
December's hustle-bustle and hodgepodge of Christmas
trees and imitation Santas- makes one wonder about the
season's true meaning. But religious organizations on
campus are busy taking the commercialism out of
Christmas and putting celebration and charity back into
the season. -
"Christians are more mindful of the need of others
now," said First Baptist Church Pastor Gayle Baldridge.
"There's an extra element in Christmas this year with
unemployment. People are going hungry and need help.
Everyone's getting reinterested in people," he said!
Baldridge said the church, 1340 K St., is helping to
support the Peoples City Mission and the Salvation Army
during December with donations. The church also has a
pantry of food kept stocked year-round for anyone
needing a hot meal.
The University Lutheran Chapel (Missouri Synod),
1510 Q St., follows the university's schedule and will
close Dec. 12, said Kent Stephens, director of Christian
Outreach.
Wednesday, they will conduct a special Advent service
at 9 p.m., he said. Anyone interested in caroling at the
Lincoln Regional Center with church members on Dec.
1 1 should meet at 6 pjn. in the chapel, he said.
Wesley House, 640 N. 16th St., collects money for
and sponsors children through the Christian Children's
Fund and tries to give a little more to them during this
season, said Mark Randall, minster and director for
Wesley House.
Their calendar includes a Communion service this
Sunday and an Advent service with a guest speaker on
Thursday at 9:30 pjn. The final service will be on Dec.
12 at 9:30 pm. and will include special Christmas, music.
A Christmas dinner will be served Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m.
for $3. A short service and caroling will follow the dinner.
The church's special services include a Christmas pro
gram with singing and a drama Decr-19 at 6 p.m. and a
Christmas Eve service Dec. 24 at 6 pjn.
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 320 N. 16 St.,
follows the university schedule and will cut down on the
number of Masses after a midnight Mass Dec. 14 said
Lori Vasa, secretary. Also, a special collection of' gifts
will be collected for Lancaster Manor residents.
Vasa said they will have Mass at 10 ajn. Dec. 15 and
16, and 7 every morning thereafter. On Dec. 24 there
will be a vigil Mass at midnight, and Masses are scheduled
for 10 a.m. on Dec. 25 and 26, she said.
St. Mark's On The Campus Episcopal Church, 1309
R St., invites anyone to go caroling on Dec. 11, said
Joanne- LeFevre, secretary. Interested people should
meet in the church's lounge at 7 p.m.
LeFevre said that the church is collecting food and
clothing during the Christmas seasonvand they also keep
a year-round pantry stocked.
On Dec: 24, the church will have a Christmas Eve
festival at 1 1 p.m.she said.

conduct survey
Immigration and drug

of the Nebraska Union.
Robert Neve, Maranatha

campuses across the United
United States were polled.
"The main purpose of
the survey is to let the
senators and representatives
in Congress know how col

issues," Neve said.
Neve said the polls are
conducted 1 1 times a year
and published in the
magazines, which are sent to

"The issues we deal with
