Happening tonight, Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in the Gore community of Chattooga County is hosting its Drive-Thru Live Nativity from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Visitors will see live animals, beautifully portrayed biblical scenes, and hear inspiring Christmas music throughout the evening.

A special performance by the Chattooga High School Choir will highlight the event, along with other seasonal music to help set the tone for the holiday season.

This event is free and open to everyone, and Pleasant Grove Baptist Church is inviting the entire community to come out and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
