First Cumberland Presbyterian Presents Live Nativity Scene
From the Dec 16, 2025 e-Edition
McKENZIE (December 3) — The First Cumberland Presbyterian Church of McKenzie reminded drivers of the reason for the season in early December with a drive-thru live nativity scene behind the church parking lot.
The scene depicted the birth of Jesus, with church members taking shifts working as the scene’s essential characters. Photographed are Reid Warman and Justin Stambaugh as the shepherds; Brandon Hill as Joseph; Carleigh Lunn as Mary; Lola Sumrok, Marlee Toombs, Hadley Smith and Frannie Trout as the angels; and CJ Scott, Ty Scott and Charlie Scott as the three wisemen. Brice Webb and his farm animals are also in the scene.
