Drive Thru Nativity this weekend

This Friday and Saturday, Dec. 18–19 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Community Christian Church of the Foothills is hosting its annual free Drive-Thru Nativity Scene. The Drive-Thru Nativity has multiple scenes where church members dress as characters from the Bible including Mary and Joseph, the Angel who appears to be floating in the air, shepherds tending their flock of sheep, the Christ Child in the manger and wise men bringing gifts.  With music, lights, props and live animals, the scenes come alive and one feels transformed to Bethlehem.

The church is located at 10193 Tujunga Canyon Blvd., one block northwest of Commerce and Foothill, next to the Tujunga post office and one block north of Joselito’s West Mexican Restaurant.  Follow the signs on Foothill the night of the event.  Call (818) 353-8080 for more information or visit www.churchofthefoothills.com.
