Christmas At The Grand Wayne Center
Our Christ Child Festival returns this year to the Grand Wayne Center in downtown Fort Wayne!
Grand Wayne Center - Harrison Room
- 5:00pm-9:00pm Free Admission
Join us to follow the Crimson Thread throughout the narrative of the Bible, beginning with the creation story and ending with Christ's return. Beautiful learning experiences will delight young and old alike. Touchstones of faith are demonstrated in visual depictions of Bible stories and in poetry by children's author Suzie Salle.
Candy canes and their corresponding Christ story, gift bags, and Crimson Thread booklets will anchor the Christ of Christmas in your heart!
