Bundle up on Saturday, Dec. 3. for a Twin Cities holiday tradition &#8211; the Holidazzle parade. See story book characters come to life during the 30 minute parade that travels down Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. <strong><em>The 40U group invites all ages (birth to 100) to join in</em></strong>. Just remember to dress warm and in layers! We will board the bus at 5:30pm in the west parking lot (off Belden).  A free will offering will offset the bus expense.  The parade starts at 6:30pm and the bus should return by 7:45pm.  Look at <a href="http://www.holidazzle.com/">www.holidazzle.com</a> for more information. Please rsvp to <a href="mailto:ddoerrer@nativitychurch.org?subject=Holidazzle Parade">Pastor Dan Doerrer </a>612.695.8453.</p>
