This Union’s 30th annual presentation of The Living Christmas Story! The Living Christmas Story is a drive-through “living” story of Jesus’ birth. Union United Methodist Church has been creating memories for families throughout the Irmo, Lexington, and Columbia areas since 1994.

Come enjoy this free event as you drive along a 1/3 mile route through the church’s parking area, which has been transformed into the city of Bethlehem to re-enact the ‘greatest story ever told.’ This is a gift to our community with no admission fee.

Real people from Union Church and the Irmo community, including live animals, bring the town of Bethlehem to life. Villagers, a blacksmith, the innkeeper, Herod’s Court, the marketplace and many more scenes come alive as you drive through and experience the night Christ was born.
