The spirit of Christmas will come alive at Faith Lutheran Church in Aurora as the church hosts its annual outdoor Live Nativity on Saturday, Dec. 17.

The community is invited to this free event at 6 p.m. at the churhc, 3000 Liberty St.

Faith's Live Nativity features a large cast, choir, live animals and scenery to provide a memorable family Christmas event.

The journey will take guests back in time to the birth of Christ.

Shepherds peacefully tend to their flocks, while Mary and Joseph look after the child in the manger.

Wise men will come from the East bearing gifts as angels watch over the scene.

During the performance as the story is told, visitors will be invited to join with the choir in singing traditional carols.

After the performance, guests are invited to sample hot chocolate and cookies, visit a petting zoo and take their own nativity scene pictures.

A church statement said, "It's an experience that will bring the true meaning of the Christmas season for one and all!"
