A Heartfelt Thanks: Celebrating the Live Nativity and the Spirit of Christmas

Last Updated 12/27/2024

Thank you to everyone who joined us today to experience the Live Nativity.

We hope you felt the same goosebumps we did as you took in the beautiful scene and reflected on the true meaning of Christmas. The warmth, reverence, and joy of the season were palpable, and we’re grateful to have shared this special moment with our community.

A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who made this event possible. From the dedicated characters and talented costumers to the generous donors and the Foundation Board for their sponsorship, this event is truly a labor of love.

It takes an entire community coming together to bring the Live Nativity to life each year, and we couldn’t do it without you.

As we continue to celebrate this season of giving and togetherness, we wish you and your loved ones blessings and joy this Christmas.

Thank you for being a part of this cherished tradition and for keeping the spirit of Christmas alive in our community.

Merry Christmas!
