This lively service includes carols, an interactive reading of the nativity story and communion. We'll provide nativity costumes for angels, shepherds, Mary, Joseph and the magi (wise boys and girls). If your child would enjoy being one of the animals at the manger, he or she may wear their own costume. Donkeys, sheep and cows or your child's animal of choice are welcome! Children are invited to bring an inexpensive baby gift for Jesus (bibs, spoons, lotions, diapers), which will be given to families of newborns in need.   Following the service, we'll move to the Assembly Hall for a birthday party for Jesus. Cake and punch will be served.
