All Nations Church celebrates 30 years of presenting the Living Nativity this year.

Nightly performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 20 on the grounds of Science North and close Sunday, Dec. 24 with a fireworks display.

“This annual tradition brings the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ to life,” said a press release.

“There are real sheep, a donkey, angels singing and the three wise men. Volunteers present no matter the weather to just as eager audience members.”

This is a free event for the entire family that includes hot chocolate to keep warm and a special area up front for children to watch.

“Being able to celebrate 30 years of bringing the Christmas story to life for families is incredible,” said Jeremy Mahood, senior pastor with All Nations Church, in the press release.

“Parents that attended when they were children are now bringing their children to Living Nativity.”
