3. The Living Nativity

Each year, hundreds of people take time from their busy schedules to journey to the manger to witness First Lutheran’s re-creation of the miracle of Christmas.  Live camels, donkey and sheep are present to show how the stable may have looked that first Christmas Eve. Let the shepherds direct you to the Nativity Scenes as you drive through in the warmth of your car.  Please enter the viewing area at the intersection of Douglas Street and 7th Avenue West.  Come and see the portrayal of the Holy Family, the Shepherds, Wise Men, and Angels! Friday, December 4th from 5pm-8pm.
