(ChurchLeaders) With COVID-19 causing popular Christmas events to be canceled, churches throughout the U.S. are trying something many of them have never done before: holding a drive-through nativity.
“This is the church’s Christmas gift to the town,” said Rev. Daniel England, the interim pastor of Bridgewater Congregational Church (BCC) in Bridgewater, Connecticut. “That’s really why we’re doing it.” Because Bridgewater’s annual tree lighting ceremony will not be taking place, the drive-through nativity provides an alternate way for residents to celebrate the season.
