BATON ROUGE - Celebrate the true spirit of Christmas this season with "First Christmas: Stories from the Birth of Christ," a heartfelt theatrical performance at Jefferson United Methodist Church. The performance will take place on December 15th, 2024, at 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

The audience will be transported back to the holy night of Christ's birth, experiencing the emotions, struggles, and joys of the season. Interwoven with the characters’ personal narratives, the performance will feature soul-stirring songs, carefully selected to reflect the significance of this holy season.

Director Carolyn Rice shared her vision for the play, stating, “Most of the play takes place immediately after the birth of Christ and depicts the challenges faced by those who were part of this momentous event.”
