3rd Sunday in Advent

The King is coming….

Light three candles to watch for Messiah,
Let the light banish darkness
Lift your heads and lift high the gateway
For the King of glory.

184 people came to St. Andrew yesterday to see our 21st annual Live Nativity. If you were one of those who came to our Bethlehem hillside to witness the gift of a Father’s love, please share this with others who might like to visit us today. We again will present our Live Nativity today from 4:30 until 8:00 pm.

Why do we do it? If you’ve seen it, you can imagine the load of work that goes into set up, preparation, the event itself, and of course, cleaning it up. So why? We offer this Live Nativity as St. Andrew’s gift to our community. For 21 years we have offered this gift of love and have become known as “the church that does the Live Nativity.” Not only does it help center our guests on the true meaning of Christmas, we have a lot of fun together making it happen. St. Andrew is a place where everyone is welcome and true to that calling, when it comes to the Live Nativity, there is a job for everyone to showcase his or her talents and gifts. This ministry is a whole congregational labor of love. Come share our joy and hear the story of how a Father’s love changed the world.
