Drive Through Living Nativity Participant

Thank you for volunteering to be a part of our annual living nativity. The following information will help your evening run smoothly. We hope you have a wonderful time sharing this event with the community!

What to wear:

* We will supply white hats and mittens for the angels and beige hats and mittens for everyone else.

* You might want to wear a thin pair of gloves under the mittens depending on the weather.

* Dress in layers and not heavy, bulky coats as it is hard to get some of the costumes over large coats.

 Parking:

* There will be no parking available at the church because of the Nativity.  If you are being dropped off, you can be dropped off at the entrance.

* Park at the Heatherdowns Plaza Shopping Center (includes Toledo Tire & Auto Care) - 5329 Heatherdowns Blvd and walk over to the church.

* The church (5445 Heatherdowns Blvd) is located one and one half blocks west of Reynolds Rd on the south side of the street. The parking is between Reynolds Rd and the church.

If you can’t come for any reason PLEASE call or text Kathy Boehm 419-509-6798 so we can arrange a replacement for you.
