Evansville Church to Host Unique, Immersive Live Nativity Experience

Regardless of your religious/spiritual resume or affiliation, odds are you are familiar with the Christian nativity scene, which depicts the birth of Jesus. You've probably seen a nativity with dolls, statues, or little characters, and you have maybe even seen a live nativity - but there's a church on the west side of Evansville that is taking a whole new approach to the nativity.

The Turning Pointe Church is hosting a live nativity event that goes beyond that final scene in the manger that we are all so familiar with. The Turning Pointe is offering an interactive nativity that will have small groups of people visiting five different stations, both inside and out, showing reenactments of the events that took place that night in Bethlehem.

This special live nativity event is happening on Friday, December 13, 2024 from 6pm-8pm. It is free and open to anyone who would like to attend. And it will happen rain or shine. The Turning Point is located at 9800 Middle Mt. Vernon Road.

Once you've completed the walk-through, you can enjoy refreshments and, if so led, make a donation to different Mistletoe Missions - those are various nonprofit organizations that The Turning Pointe works with during the Holidays.
