Faith Wesleyan Church, 3356 Route 309, Orefield, will present a live nativity and Bethlehem Christmas experience 7-9 p.m. Dec. 15, 16, and 17.

Participants will enter into a re-created City of Bethlehem to see a cast wearing period costumes. Visitors can be part of the census, interact with merchants and sample simple foods.

Hear what the people of Bethlehem might have been saying that special night so long ago. See the inn and watch as the innkeeper offers Joseph and Mary shelter in the stable.

Watch the shepherds as they hear the news Christ the Savior is born. See the newborn baby and the gifts of the wise men.

Feel the true reason for Christmas in a way you never have before.

Shows run every 20 minutes with photo opportunities, cookies, and cocoa. Everything is free. For more information, call 610-398-0172.
