Since 2001, the Church has been telling the story of Christmas through it's Living Nativity, which for many in our community, has become a favorite holiday tradition. Lit by 800 luminaria and occupying an entire city block, ten scenes are depicted as cars drive down "The Road to Bethlehem." Walkers also enjoy the story from a special walking path. Go back in time and visit the glorious story that started it all! There is no cost to experience it. Donations of non-perishable food items will be graciously accepted for those in need. The Living Nativity will run both Saturday and Sunday, December 14th and 15th 6:30-8:00 pm.
