Deanna Shepard with Grace Church of the Nazarene said they have hosted the event for close to 20 years.

“We’ve always done community outreach. We do back to school bashes, trunk or treat, and Lincoln Homes outreach. That’s what we do, we love our people in the community and we want to tell the story of Jesus to everyone,” Shepard said.

The Drive-Thru Live Nativity continues Saturday, 6-9 p.m. and Sunday, 5-8 p.m. at Grace Church of the Nazarene, 3135 Trenton Road.
