The Second Annual Nativities Display known as “No Room at the Inn” is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, and from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec 6, at the Church of the Redeemer at 8275 Meadowbridge Road in Mechanicsville.
The event kicks-off with a preview Gala for adults only from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec 4. The festive event offers attendees the opportunity to preview the nativities exhibit and enjoy light refreshments, live music, and silent and live auctions.
“This will be an exciting weekend to view traditional and extraordinary nativities displays with your family and share in the true meaning of Christmas, while helping to support the less fortunate,” Father James Begley, Church of the Redeemer pastor, said.
Tickets for the nativities exhibit are $5 for adults and $1 for children and students 18 and younger and can be purchased at the event.
The Gala tickets are $20 and can be purchased during office business hours or by mailing a check to Church of the Redeemer (attn: No Room at the Inn) for pick-up at the will call table at the Gala.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the homeless, Congregations Around Richmond Involved to Assure Shelter (CARITAS), Hanover Safe Place and the church’s Haiti mission.
Last year, No Room at the Inn raised $7,600 for the three beneficiaries.
