32nd Annual Living Nativity December 20, 21, 22

Once again the congregation of the First United Methodist Church presents its beautiful Seasonal gift to the community. Under the Coast redwood tree and adjacent to the church, a grassy area is transformed into a humble wooden stable, with a serene Mary, Joseph, and tiny baby Jesus asleep in the manger. Three majestic kings stand by with their gifts to the Holy Child, attentive angels appear nearby, and lowly shepherds tend to their flocks. Live camels and a petting zoo surround the manger taking in the wonder of it all.

This multigenerational event draws families back year after year – it’s free! The historic sanctuary will be open, with seasonal music softly playing. A display of creches from around the world adorn the communion rail. Complimentary cider and cookies will be served.

Located at the corner of Garden and Anapamu Streets. Free onsite parking with the parking entrance from Garden Street. For information call 805-963-3579 or email office@fumcsb.org
