NORWAY — On Saturday, December 18, the public is invited to attend a thoughtful and inspirational outside Live Nativity at the Second Congregational Church, UCC, 205 Main Street, Norway, Maine. Performances will be at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Each presentation will last approximately 30 minutes. The Live Nativity is a gift to our very kind and generous local community and there is no charge.
Last year the Second Congregational Church, presented its first Live Nativity. It was a drive-thru event. This year, audience members are encouraged to park their cars on the street or in the Ripley lot, wear warm clothes, masks and walk to the “stable.” Handicap spots will be available in the church lot.
The choir and church member cast will be costumed as shepherds, villagers, angels, kings, and the Holy family. The actors will enter from different points on the property to visit the baby in the manger. Musicians will play Christmas music and favorite carols will be sung. If audience members wish to bring a gift to the manger, new or gently used mittens, hats, and scarves for local school children would be most welcomed.
The “stable” in the church parking lot is decorated with Christmas greens and tiny white lights. During this Advent season, in anticipation of Christmas, the lights will be lit in the empty stable.
For more information, please contact the church office at 207-743-2290 or email [email protected].
