Conley’s UMC sets living nativity Dec. 16, 17
Conley's United Methodist Church will present its living nativity from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, Dec. 16 and 17. Admission is free, and there will be ample free parking. Golf carts to help the handicapped will be available each night. While waiting to view the presentation, visitors can enjoy cookies and cocoa in the warmth of the church. This is the 16th year for the event, which has become a local Christmas tradition. All donations of cash and canned goods go to local charities.
The Living Nativity is a way for people to remember the birth of Jesus by walking through a re-creation of the village of Bethlehem. The pageant will include 75 actors portraying angels, the innkeeper, the wise men, shepherds, townspeople and even Roman soldiers complete with chariot.
Last year, hundreds of people visited and donated food and money to help area charities and needy families. These organizations included the Cape Henlopen Food Basket, the Christian Storehouse, Jusst Sooup Ministry and local shelters.
The church makes no money on this event. The scenery, costumes and children's gifts are created or donated entirely by members of Conley's UMC.
The address is 33106 Jolyns Way off Camp Arrowhead Road in Angola. For more information, call 302-945-1881 or go to www.ConleysUMC.org.
