You can enjoy a local and live Christmas show this weekend that has roots dating back to 1984. The Living Nativity is performed by members of the First Baptist Church congregation, and Pastor Cory Dahl says the four shows are a Christmas gift to the community and themselves. Set in the church’s parking lot, Pastor Dahl describes the scene as he narrates the “greatest story ever told.”
The Living Nativity changes slightly every year from costuming to the new wireless LED lights, which will be added this year. The free 15-minute performances will be at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The public is invited to attend the Living Nativity, which includes singing Christmas carols by the Sheppard Choir with a final audience participation sing-along. A social in the Fellowship Hall will follow each performance with coffee and cookies.
