A Sunday morning church service at St George's where the congregation acts out the nativity on the spot. Children and adults can be shepherds, angels, wise men or sheep, with costumes provided and no lines to learn. Everyone is welcome, whether or not they usually go to church, and it is a gentle way for young children to take part in the Christmas story.
