What
Is The Drive-Through Living Nativity?
This
event is an outreach effort to our community. It has served
to increase our visibility and name recognition in the
community as well as to fulfill our obligation to ensure
that our society never forgets the true significance of
Christmas.
It
takes place in the parking lot of the Towne South Church of
Christ. Cars enter the driveway and circle around the
parking lot viewing the following scenes:
-
Roman
soldiers distributing tax papers as people enter the
town of Bethlehem.
-
Shepherds
visiting the stable to find Joseph, Mary and the baby
Jesus (live animals).
-
The
wise men on their way to Bethlehem following the star.
-
King
Herod vowing to rid himself of this threat to his power.
-
Simeon
sharing memories of seeing the Christ Child after a
lifetime of waiting.
In
each scene, there are characters with and without speaking
parts. Those with speaking parts go to each car and explain
what is happening as if they were actually there. Those who
volunteer for the speaking parts need to be very animated! We
normally try to recruit enough cast members so that we can
rotate every hour.
Members
of the Towne South Church of Christ as asked to volunteer
not only for speaking and non-speaking parts in the Living
Nativity, but in various other ways. If you are interested
in helping and would like more information as to the various
areas of service, pick up a brochure on the table at the
back of the auditorium or speak to Ronnie Woolard. |
