Christmas Outdoor Live Walk-Through Nativity on Dec. 20 & 24

/

We are inviting families and friends to join at the outdoor Live walk-through Nativity this year. The pandemic may have changed how we celebrate Christmas this year; however, the story of Christmas continues. In light of a children's book titled "Refuge" by Anne Booth and Sam Usher, we would dive into the story of Christmas in support of the refugee crisis in the world.

Date & Time: Dec. 20 (2-4pm) & Dec. 24 (2-3pm)

Where: Pound Ridge Community Church lawn & parking lot (Please park your car at the Pound Ridge Elementary School parking lot).

How does it work?: Once you park your car at the elementary school, you will need to walk up to the church parking lot. There will be signs for you to follow up to the information booth. At the information booth, you will learn:
1 ) How follow the story
2) How to play scavenger hunt
3) Donation Box for our refugee neighbors

There is an opportunity for you to support this cause, and all the proceedings will help the Westchester Refugee Initiative spearheaded by Hearts & Homes for Refugees.

To donate through Pound Ridge Community Church, you can donate on the dates of events, mail to our church office, or click here for online giving.
