Nativity Scene Illuminates Walker County Courthouse, a Tomorrow’s Promise Initiative
HUNTSVILLE, Texas – This holiday season, the front lawn of the Walker County Courthouse in Huntsville, Texas, has been graced with a nativity scene, a vision turned into reality by Kaye Boehning, Founder and President of Tomorrow’s Promise Montessori Schools. This marks the second year that the courthouse lawn off University Avenue has hosted such a display.
The idea originated at a Downtown Business Alliance meeting, where discussions about Christmas decorations led to the suggestion of a nativity scene at the courthouse. “We were talking about the Christmas lights when someone mentioned putting a nativity scene on the courthouse lawn. I immediately loved the idea,” Boehning said.
The design and creation of the scene were a collaborative effort between Boehning and Blaine McCadam of McCadam Wood Creations. “The white color of the scene represents its purity and simplicity, conveying a powerful message,” Boehning explained.
The Huntsville Downtown Business Alliance played a crucial role in making this vision a reality, with support from local government officials. “Our local government supports the idea, and it should be there for years to come,” Boehning added. She hopes that as people drive by, they are reminded of “the beauty of Christ coming to save us from our sins.”
Plans are underway to create another nativity scene next year at the new Tomorrow’s Promise Academy on Veterans Memorial Parkway, which is set to open soon.
