SHAWVILLE Dec. 19-20, 2020

Two Shawville-area churches came up with a novel way to present the nativity story while following public health guidelines, by hosting a drive-in musical on the lawn.

A collaboration between . . .

New Hope Christian Fellowship and Grace Community Bible Church, the play was presented at four different time slots on both Saturday and Sunday, in order to keep the audience at a distance. Attendees could pull up to the lawn outside of New Hope and listen to the audio of the performance through their vehicle’s radio.

The performance was about 25 minutes in length and featured singing, live animals and even a large glowing star.

A video of the performance was captured and will soon be available online for anybody that missed it.

Two local churches hosted a drive-in nativity play over the weekend, in order to tell the Christmas story while observing public health guidelines.

To add to the realism, the nativity play even featured live animals, like this donkey.

The angels sang out from on high, on a raised platform to the side of the lawn.
