Nativity Play Sign-Up

Advent 2026 · Toddlers–5th grade

Four weeks of acting out the Christmas story, ending with our Kids Nativity Play at the 4 PM Christmas Eve service.

About the class

During the Kids and Nursery formation class this Advent, kids in PreK through 5th grade will act out the Christmas story from Luke 2, play games, learn the song “O Come Let Us Adore Him,” and practice their parts. In the last class, kids try on costumes and do a dress rehearsal. We provide all costumes. Toddlers in the nursery get their own play time each week, and they can dress up and join the play too.

Classes: Sundays, November 29 and December 6, 13 and 20, 10:15–11:00 AM, in the Kids Chapel and Nursery classrooms. Christmas Eve: Thursday, December 24. Kids arrive at 3:00 PM for costumes; the service starts at 4:00 PM. Sign up by Monday, November 30.

Every child is welcome in the class, even if you'll be away on Christmas Eve. Reading parts go to kids who will be at the play. Parts will be handed out on December 6.

Will they be in town for the play on Christmas Eve?

Yes, we'll be there! No, but they'll join the classes Not sure yet

Which parts would they like?

Check up to 3 parts they'd be happy with. We'll do our best, but can't promise a first choice. Mary, Joseph and Angel (reads) are reading parts: they go to confident readers, usually 2nd grade and up, who will be at the play. All angels sing.
