Christmas in the Barn brings the Nativity to life
For the 43rd year, members of English Settlement United Methodist Church will come together to host Christmas in the Barn, a living Nativity and Christmas Eve service.
The church’s live Nativity will come to life again on Monday at the John and Cindy Squire farm, 26715 Church Road, just east of Highway J.
Beginning at 5 p.m., visitors will be ushered into the barn every 20 minutes until 8:30 p.m. for the live Nativity and Christmas Eve service.
Among the bales of straw, visitors will see portrayals by church members of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus along with shepherds, angels, and the wise men. Nine different couples and their babies will portray the holy family.
The Gospel story of Jesus’ birth will be read and visitors will have the opportunity to join in the singing of Christmas carols.
Cookies, hot chocolate and coffee with be available for those waiting.
