December is filled with activities and events for the entire family
Get into the Christmas spirit with Templeton Presbyterian’s Living Nativity
Live animals, including camels and donkeys, along with costumed characters of all ages will present a narrated living nativity scene that tells the story of Jesus’ birth.
Templeton Presbyterian Church puts on the yearly Christmas event over the third weekend of December. The half-hour presentation is free and open to the public. In addition to living nativity scene, there will be free refreshments, hot cocoa and singing on the church’s front lawn on the corner of Crocker and 6th streets.
“Our church does this because we love to tell the story of God becoming human in the person of Jesus,” said the Rev. Charlie Little of Templeton Presbyterian Church. “For all the other wonderful ways to celebrate the Christmas season, the most important one is to celebrate the birth of Christ, the Son of God.”
