“GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY”
An angel of the Lord brought a message to shepherds guarding their flocks, bringing them "good tidings of great joy" saying, "unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Reminiscent of that first blessed Christmas, TDS is proud to sponsor a moving Live Nativity depicting the long ago holy night.
The hallowed scene will be reenacted four times on the grounds of Orange Hall in downtown St. Marys on Tuesday, December 18th at 6:15 pm, 6:45 pm, 7:15 pm and 7:45 pm. Mary and Joseph will arrive, as it was in days of old, in Bethlehem only to find no room in the inn. Among live nativity animals, the precious story of Jesus’ miraculous birth will be recounted as the baby is wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid to rest in the manger.
Celebrating the blessed birth will be choral selections of local church choirs and elementary school students. There is no better way to honor the true meaning of the season than to witness this very heart-felt exhibit. Viewing the Live Nativity is quite often a time-honored family tradition, a treasured holiday experience for all ages. Sharing the story of the first Christmas as it is solemnly narrated will certainly leave a lasting impression, bring families together, and prove to be an inspiring way to commemorate Christmas every year.
Mark your calendars for December 18th and celebrate the reason for the season at Orange Hall from 6:00-8:00 pm. The evening will conclude with everyone in attendance singing Silent Night. During a time when we have men and women deployed so far away from home, the Live Nativity inspires “peace on earth, good will toward men,” a sentiment we, as a nation, all pray for especially during the holidays.
