Drive-Thru Nativity Offers Glimpse into Past

Drivers passed the manger scene depicting the recent birth of Jesus.

Community Christian Church of the Foothills (CCC) held its annual Drive-Thru Nativity Scene Dec. 14-15 at its Tujunga campus. From 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, those wishing a new way to experience the Christmas season were invited to drive through several scenes depicting the times surrounding Jesus’ birth.

In the first scene, Mary and Joseph are journeying to Bethlehem following the decree by Caesar Augustus that a census was to be taken and citizens were to return to their towns of birth. In the second, an angel appears high above the shepherds proclaiming the good news of Christ’s birth. The third scene is of Jesus’ birth in a stable and finally we see the Wise Men as they make their way to find the newborn king.

Before visitors left the church grounds, they were offered an opportunity to pull to the side for prayer with church elders.
