Live Nativity - Saturday 21st December


Good Morning followers of Wokingham Living Advent Calendar.

Before yesterdays performance goes live here later today I just wanted to remind you all about Saturdays performance.

For the second year The Live Nativity will be part of the Living Advent Calendar.

Join Christchurch Wokingham (Formerly Church at the White House) on Elms Field at 4:15pm for a short festive interlude that puts the focus on what Christmas is really all about…in a relaxed and family friendly environment.

So why not join the fun? As well as watching a re-creation of the very first Christmas, complete with a donkey and some sheep, you can join in with or just listen to some traditional and not so traditional songs.

The event concludes with a short talk about the significance of that first Christmas more than 2,000 years ago. What better way to start your Christmas season of peace and goodwill to all?

The fun starts at 4:15pm on Saturday 21st December at Elms Field in Wokingham Town Centre, RG40 2LD. Entrance is FREE.

 The action is all outside so wrap up warm and don’t forget to bring a torch if you want to join in the singing. We expect the whole event to last just under an hour.



Wokingham Town Council are supporting the event as part of the Wokingham Living Advent Calendar

Cllr Peter Lucey (Wokingham Town Council Mayor 2011-12 and 2012 -13):
I was delighted to attend the 2012 Live Nativity: a real climax to our Christmas festivities and to the Living Advent Calendar. The Christmas message was delivered with sincerity and humour, and supported by a true menagerie of living animals: the stable came alive!
I look forward to seeing you all this year at the various Living Advent Calendar events and of course at The Live Nativity.”

Rev Mark Huddleston (Christ Church Wokingham):
"It was really encouraging to see such a large crowd at last years Live Nativity on Elms Field. This special event has grown in attendance every year and we are    hoping that this year is no exception so that we can share the Christmas message with even more people. Even if you don't attend a local church you are very welcome to come and be part of this celebration of the birth of Jesus. It's a really good way to start exploring, or re-exploring Christianity, and if you decide you would like to learn more about the life and work of Jesus then we can point you in the right direction."

Christ Church Wokingham (formerly known as The Church at the White House School) is part of the Arborfield and Barkham group of churches within the Church of England. Whilst the White House School is closed for re-development we are currently meeting every Sunday at 10.30am at St. Crispin’s School on London Road, Wokingham, RG40 1SS, for worship and to learn from God’s word in the bible. We would love you to join us at one of our services over the Christmas period (or any other time).

Dec 25th Christmas Day 10.30 – 11.30
Christmas Day All Age Celebration – a time for everyone to come and celebrate the birth of Christ.
Dec 29th 10.30 – 11.30
Jan 5th 10.30 – 11.30

We also run a 7 week course called Christianity Explored where anyone can ask any question about the Christian faith as we read through Mark’s gospel. Visit the website for more details.
