Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Alliance Nebraska.

Today ask yourself
"If I were a gift wrapped as
a package for Jesus,
Would He be pleased to receive me?"

~Helen Steiner Rice

The Innkeeper

I knew them not, and I had never seen

A man whose face was quite so trouble-lined;

Nor any woman who, so great with child,

Possessed an air of such angelic ease.

The inn was full; and even had they been

From Herod's court, I knew I could not find

A room for them. But 'round her face so mild,

A strange light seemed to glow when she said, "Please."

What could I do? For I was never keen

At turning folk away; then, in my mind

My little stable flashed. The thought was wild,

But shelter must be found for such as these.

And so it was; there in the manger mean

Began the greatest Life of humankind.

The inn was full; and so I am reviled,

And so shall be for all eternities.

And yet I think one question is my due:

I found a place for Him. Have you? Have you?
