This Christmas season, step back in time and step into the greatest story ever told! First United Methodist Church of Alexandria warmly invites you and your family to join us in bringing the nativity story to life on Sunday, December 7, with our Live Nativity Drive-Through at 2727 Jackson Street.
You can do more than just attend this event! We’re calling on community members of all ages to be a part of this joyful, heartwarming experience by becoming costumed characters in our Live Nativity. Whether you’ve ever dreamed of being an angel, a shepherd, a Roman centurion, a townsperson, or even a member of the holy family, here’s your chance to play a special part — no speaking required! This is a beautiful way to share in the spirit of Christmas, connect with neighbors, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
