"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

- Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

The 2022 Christmas Drama

A reenactment of the Nativity Story by Friendship Community Individuals with Intellectual Disability and Autism - this completely un-rehearsed and totally spontaneous drama is full of laughs, tears and lots of joy. We were so blessed to be able to have our first in-person Christmas Drama since 2019!
