We are so thankful to the team of volunteers (79 in total!) that made the Live Nativity possible last Saturday! The rain in the morning and afternoon made setting up more challenging, but everyone persevered and helped where needed! The rain stopped by late afternoon and we had approximately 700 attend the Live Nativity.
It was a beautiful evening and a wonderful way to help people kick off the holiday season and think about the true meaning of Christmas.
