A Brand New Original Nativity Rev. Dr. Linda D. Even
There are no rehearsals and every child who comes to worship can choose the part they will play—cow, angel, sheep, shepherd, king or queen—and join in the tableau. Invite friends and families with young children to attend this delightful high energy service. Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus (and this year, his cousin John and Elizabeth) will be eagerly waiting to see who comes, as we sing familiar carols and create a Brand New Original Nativity.
