Living Nativity Saturday Cancellation

Dec 1st, 2018 | Pastor Mueller

The Living Nativity Committee has evaluated the weather for today, Dec. 1, 2018. While the weather isn't dangerous, the persistent heavy rain makes the conditions very poor for hosting the Living Nativity tonight. While some may brave the weather, the outdoor experience for both people and animals won't be enjoyable. This saddens all of us who have prepared and planned to serve you tonight. Please know that the weather tomorrow looks promising and the cookies, cider, and especially the good news about Jesus' birth awaits you tomorrow, Dec. 2nd from 4-7 pm. We hope to see you then!
