Saturday, December 13th, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church will continue its traditional re-creation of the birth of Christ as a Living Nativity presentation. Visiting the Living Nativity has become a tradition for many viewers, as well as the participants. New visitors are invited to join in the tradition at 801 N. Sheridan Avenue in Canon City to help celebrate the Christmas season. Visitors are invited to stop in the Church to warm up and enjoy soups, chili and hot drinks.
The cast, consisting of members of Shepherd of the Hills and Christ Episcopal Churches and other volunteers from the community, includes the Holy Family, angels, shepherds and wise men, all outdoors. Many others are involved as support staff behind the scenes. The live animals are provided by the Juan and Marlissa Gonzalez family from Wetmore, who have been involved since 2018. Donations of nonperishable food and cash will be accepted and given to Loaves & Fishes Ministries of Canon City, which distributes food boxes to Fremont County families in addition to other services it provides.
Upon arriving at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, 801 N. Sheridan, Canon City, visitors may drive through and observe the Nativity from their vehicles, or they can park their vehicles and stop in for a bite inside the fellowship hall or walk along the changing scenes as the story is told through Bible readings and music. Visitors will be participants in the reason for the season, the story of the birth of Christ the Savior in Bethlehem over 2000 years
