Thank you for your interest in participating in the Nativity portion of the 2019 Naples Christmas Celebration at FBCN! We look forward to the opportunity to once again present "a picture" of what it might have looked like that glorious night when our Savior was born! Hallelujah!

The Nativity will be presented twice during each of the 5 Presentations:
*The first is beforehand out in the courtyard with live animals. This is a smaller, limited Nativity. We will need a Mary, Joseph (baby) and a few shepherds. There are NO Rehearsals for this portion. This is a great opportunity for those who want less of a commitment. Time for this Nativity is 5:30-6:45 December 11th-15th.
*The second Nativity is during our traditional time on stage during the musical and drama program (this is a Full Nativity).
We need adult participation! We also encourage students and children who are participating in the choirs to join the Nativity. Student choirs are in the beginning portion of the program and the Nativity is near the end. Students and children who are not singing in the choir are of course welcomed to participate too! We love to have a mix of adult and students aged kindergarten and older in costume on stage! Parts include the very important Shepherds, Kings Court and Angels. These parts are assigned based on size!

We are also in need of adults to help in the "behind the scenes" process of Nativity!!! This includes handling and organization of costumes, light mending and costume repair, cueing for entrances of scenes during the presentations etc. This is a fun and wonderful opportunity to be part of the backstage team!
