Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church will be presenting its seventh annual Bethlehem Experience, a drive-through living Nativity scene.

Held in both the upper and lower parking lots on church grounds — 11042 Sunrise Drive NE — Bethlehem Experience is, organizers said, “our church’s gift to the community during the Christmas season.”

Visit the Bethlehem Experience to feel what it would be like to be in a 1st century village. Talk with Roman soldiers, watch live animals, see the shops and shopkeepers at work and gaze with wonder upon the manger as the Joseph and Mary characters coddle their newborn baby.

Admission is free. Operating hours are 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 2.
