PALM COAST, Fla. – A community holiday favorite is getting a new look and Living Nativity Director Cassandra Hartman at Parkview Church is bubbling with enthusiasm.
Families line up each year for a drive thru experience at the Palm Coast campus where hundreds of volunteers from Parkview Church stage the story of the birth of Jesus, free of charge. This year the Living Nativity will be a park and walk experience, offering families a chance to immerse themselves in the holiday’s most meaningful story according to Hartman.
“It is something we like to do to let our community know about the birth of Jesus,” said Hartman, helping with the Living Nativity project since 2019.
Taking it to the next level, the Living Nativity experience will include a petting zoo, holiday photo booths for families, and a Biblical show on loop throughout the evening.
“We’re very excited. It’s going to be very different from previous years,” said Hartman.
“This is a way to bring people on to our campus that may not be willing to attend a church service but we still want to make sure they understand how much they are loved, that they understand the reason Jesus came, and the reason we celebrate Christmas.”
The Living Nativity will take place at Parkview Church, located at 5435 Belle Terre Parkway, Palm Coast, FL December 13-16, 2023 from 6-8 p.m. There is no cost to attend. Visit www.parkviewlife.com for details.
