Once again this year, you can take the short trip to Alpine and be transported back in time to the first Christmas in Bethlehem.  The live nativity includes Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, shepherds and plenty of live-animals.  Goats, sheep, cows and even camels can be seen at the live nativity. There is no charge for the live nativity.  Alpine Church members say it a free gift to the community at Christmastime. This year, the live nativity will be held Thursday, December 23rd – Saturday, December 25th.
