In the anticipation of Christmas, sometimes we forget why we celebrate the joyous occasion.
The congregation at High Prairie St. Mark’s Anglican Church will hold a celebration Dec. 6 to remind us why we celebrate Christmas.
The popular Live Nativity returns to the church at 7 p.m. The event includes people dressing in costumes and reenacting the night Jesus Christ was born. Actors and actresses portray the events while Scripture is read and Christmas hymns sung. Attend and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas!
The event goes no matter what the weather, although organizers have been known to shorten the event if the night is bitterly cold or blowing wind and snow or sleet.
The Nativity is free to attend and refreshments served after the event in the church hall.
Organizers are asking if any children or youth want to be shepherds or angels to please arrive around 6 p.m. so they can be fitted for the costumes. The old adage of “the more the merrier” applies as everyone will be provided a costume.
As an added bonus this year, organizers are promising there will be live animals at the Nativity.
