Members of the Church of Christ at Milan were busy Sunday
evening getting ready for two special events at their church
located on 719 E. Carr Street (past the Milan Elementary
School) in Milan. The pictured actors were getting ready
for dual roles, one for the pageant Sunday night, and the
upcoming live nativity to be presented this weekend, December
21, 22, and 23 from 6-8 p.m. each evening. The public is
invited to attend this special first time outdoor nativity
the church has put together. The only live animal pictured
is the llama, but come Friday, there will be a menagerie
including sheep, donkeys, a cow and more. Refreshments of
hot cocoa and cookies will be offered, while those attending
will hear readings and songs pertaining to the season. Debra
Walker noted that the live nativity is the church's way
of giving to the community the "real" reason for
Christmas.
