UPDATE: Due to weather The Story of Christmas Drive-Through Experience will be canceled for Wednesday, December 16. Please join us on either Thursday, December 17 or Friday, December 18 anytime between 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

If you were planning to attend tonight and have donations, please bring them Thursday or Friday. We hope to see you Thursday or Friday night!

Please join us as New Covenant United Methodist Church presents "The Story of Christmas: A Drive-Through Experience." From the comfort of your vehicle, you and yours can experience the joy of the Nativity story by driving through the church grounds and witnessing scenes rich with live performers, music, and animals. Follow the life of Jack, who, as a young boy, receives a Nativity story as a Christmas gift. Jack holds this story near to his heart through the many years of his life. Scenes from Jack's life are woven together with scenes from the Nativity story and reach a beautiful conclusion at the manger. We hope that through this experience, you will be blessed and encouraged by the joy and wonder of Christmas, our Savior's birth, and the hope that it brings each of us!

December 17 - 18 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Admission is FREE TO ALL!
