The Winter Garden Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with pastors from neighboring churches, will host a special Live Nativity and Christmas Celebration next weekend.

The two-night event takes place Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 3850 Avalon Road., Winter Garden.

Join the churches in celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Pastors from several local Christian churches will narrate the nativity story for 15-minute showtimes. The living nativity will feature live animals, live actors and school choirs and FFA groups from Hamlin Middle School, Horizon High School and West Orange High School.

The event also will include a Portuguese choir for the Portuguese session, which takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday. A Spanish session will be at 7 p.m. Friday.

The event also includes a food drive, and attendees can “pay taxes” (canned food items) as they enter Bethlehem to benefit the Hope Center and Well of Hope.
