Vitalize Church members have assembled a manger for a live Nativity, which will be held Dec. 18 to 24 in the field near Sunken City Brewing on Virginia 122. On the 24th at 8 p.m., we will gather around the Nativity for a candlelight communion. For those unable to attend the live Nativity, the set will include cut-outs during the day so that passers-by can still enjoy the Nativity.
