Come Home For Christmas

Join Pink Hill United Methodist Church as we share our cherished nativity scenes as we begin the season celebrating Christ's birth. Walk through our fellowship hall to be transported back to the town of Bethlehem re-living the scenes honoring our Savior's birth. This event is open to all from birth to 99 years to capture the true essence of the Christmas season after our town's time-honored Pink Hill Christmas parade earlier in the afternoon.

A Christmas nativity is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Christmas season. The word nativity is taken from the Latin nativus, which means "arisen by birth." Nativities are art, models, carvings, or live demonstrations depicting the night of Jesus' birth. Nativity scenes contain the same elements: the Christ child in a manger; His mother, Mary; His earthly father, Joseph; shepherds; angels; various barn animals; and sometimes three wise men. The birth of Jesus—Emmanuel, God with us—fulfills the message of God's presence and humility. The deeper purpose is to honor Christ and share the gospel. Ultimately, a nativity scene reminds us that Jesus came to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins, bringing hope, forgiveness, and eternal life.
