Kick off the Christmas season at First Baptist Church of Elyria! Bring the whole family out for an evening of music, drama, a live nativity, crafts, and snacks. On Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th, the program will repeat at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm, so you can choose whichever time works for your family. Doors open 25 minutes before the start of each showtime. This is an indoor event, so there’s no need to worry about the cold Ohio weather.

Showtimes:
- Friday, December 9th at 6pm (Doors Open at 5:35pm)
- Friday, December 9th at 7pm (Doors Open at 6:35pm)

We will have crafts for the kids and snacks and hot chocolate for all.

First Baptist Church of Elyria is collecting items for adolescents and teens to donate to Lorain County Children Services. If you are able, please consider bringing an unopened/new item or two to donate. Specifically, we are looking to collect board games, puzzles, body wash, cologne, perfume, and cosmetic items for teens. We cannot collect money, gift cards, or food.
