Live Nativity scheduled Dec. 4
GREENVILLE — The East Main Church of Christ, located at 419 East Main Street in Greenville, will be having its annual “Live Nativity” on Friday, Dec. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Rotary Park just off from the traffic circle in downtown Greenville. The church is delighted to be able to take part in Main Street Greenville’s “First Friday: A Christmas Night” event. The Live Nativity will include a stable with people portraying the Biblical characters along with animals from Iddings Idle Hour Ranch. There will once again be goats, sheep, chickens, a cow, a donkey, a horse and, perhaps most notable, two camels. Beyond this there will be free candy canes, pre-wrapped treats and cartons of milk available. Dancers from the 5678 Dance Studio will be performing at 7 p.m. Those attending are asked to wear a facial covering and practice social distancing even as the East Main volunteers will be doing. Anyone who might like to help financially with this event can write a check to the church or make a donation that evening. The church’s mailing address is P.O. Box 867, Greenville, OH 45331. The church may be called at 937-547-1557 for additional information. The church is hoping that many people will be able to stop by and visit the Live Nativity and that during a busy holiday season it will be a reminder of what Christmas is truly about.
