The road to Bethlehem goes through Carson City this weekend.

First United Methodist Church in Carson City presented its annual “Road to Bethlehem: A Carson City Drive Through Living Nativity” Saturday night to motorists and pedestrians alike.

The route covered about a city block in size, starting at Division and King streets, then winding its way along Musser, Minnesota, Proctor and back to Division Street.

The church is accepting donations of non-perishable food items at the end of the route.

The drive-through Living Nativity returns Sunday from 6:30-8 p.m.
