Hundreds of nativities of all styles, materials, origins and sizes will be on display for families, friends and neighbors to view at the 18th annual open house nativity display. The event will be held at Hope Lutheran Church, 4131 Lehigh Drive, Cherryville, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Nov. 25 and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 26.

Admission is free, and refreshments and entertainment will be provided.

Children are also encouraged to come and take in the sights and make a nativity craft in the children’s nativity center.

People in the community willing to share nativities with the church for the event are welcome to do so. Those who would like to offer a nativity for the weekend can bring it to the church between the hours of 1-5 p.m. Nov. 24 for display and plan to retrieve it after 3 p.m. Nov. 26.

The nativity display at Hope Lutheran Church has grown in size and popularity each year since the event’s creation in 1999. It is a wonderful way to mark the beginning of Advent and spend time with friends, family and members of the community.

Church members and volunteers hope to see you at the display and would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas.
