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."
