An orientation will be held today and Wednesday for volunteers in Joplin’s Living Nativity slated for next week.
Today’s orientation will be held from 3:30 to 6 p.m. today at City Hall, 602 S. Main St.
For those who cannot attend today, there will be another session from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Joplin Family Worship Center, 5290 E. Seventh St.
It will take 30 minutes or less for the orientation and volunteers can stop in anytime between the start and finish times.
There will be an overview of the nativity program given, costumes will be finalized, directions of when and where to go for performance night and assignments of volunteers will be made.
It’s not too late for volunteers and singers or choirs to sign up. They may do so by attending one of the sessions.
The nativity, a drive-through event, will be held Wednesday, Dec. 2, through Saturday, Dec. 5, at Landreth Park.
Details: Roger Gladden, co-chairman of the event, at RogerGladdenCWP@aol.com or Vince Lindstrom at the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau, 625-4789.
