Come witness the night of Christ’s birth. Feel the true message of Christmas through our drive-through Living Nativity. Each year since 2001, the First United Methodist Church of

Carson City has re-enacted the night of Christ’s birth as a drive-through, Living Nativity. Lit by 800 luminaria and occupying an entire city block, ten scenes are depicted as cars drive down The Road to Bethlehem. Over the course of two nights, nearly 200 people of all ages are involved in telling the story, along with live donkeys, cows and sheep. More than 1000 people witness the Christmas story, some for the first time. Frequently, people leave with tears in their eyes, resolving to come back with their neighbors and friends. In a world of uncertainty, this message of hope and abiding love is our gift to the community. No fees are charged, though we collect canned food for those in need. This year, the Living Nativity will be on Saturday and Sunday, December 11 and 12. The entrance is at Division and King Streets, west of Carson Street. Enjoy both the drive-through and the walking path once again!
