Methodist drive-through nativity

First United Methodist Church is hosting its drive-through living nativity, which depicts 10 scenes lit by more than 800 luminaria, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Dec. 13 and 14.

The entrance is at Division and King Streets, west of Carson Street. Cars can drive the road to Bethlehem and walkers can take a designated path.

Admission is free, but canned food is being collected for families in need.
