RUSSELL — Experience the true spirit of Christmas during the Live Drive-Thru Nativity presented by the middle and high school youth of St. John Lutheran Church, Russell. The nativity will bring Christ’s birth to life by using actors and animals. The drive-through aspect will make it convenient for people to experience.
“This is an easy way for people to come and see the nativity while they stay in the warmth of their car,” said Charlie Krug, St. John 425 Youth member. “The whole family can experience the Christmas story together.”
The Live Drive-Thru Nativity will be presented in the parking lot of Russell Livestock Commission, 720 S. Fossil, on Sunday, Dec. 19. Community members are invited to drive through the nativity scene between 6:30 and 8:00 pm. Once you enter the parking lot, be sure and open your windows to enjoy reflective Christmas music.
Kelvie Reeves, St. John 425 Youth member, is one of many volunteers organizing the event.
“This live Nativity presentation is our gift to the community,” Reeves said. “We hope this small event will bring the spirit of hope, peace and joy to all.”
Although there is no admission fee, a freewill offering will be collected. The 425 Youth are fundraising for a upcoming trip to Manhattan to visit the KSU Campus Ministry and participate in a service project.
