Puppy Nativity
The popular Puppy Nativity is returning to Vienna for the first time in four years, and area residents are invited to bring their puppies, dogs and other pets to take part on Saturday, Dec. 2 at The Church of the Good Shepherd (United Methodist). The community event will be held at the church at 2351 Hunter Mill Road in Vienna from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“The original nativity had many animals around the manager, so bringing our pets is a wonderful way to celebrate the season!” said The Rev. Eric Song, who started the creative new tradition in 2016 in his first year as Good Shepherd’s pastor. “Animals are a big part of our families, and we want all to be included. So bring your pets to pose at our nativity.”
Costumes and treats will be provided for pets, and photos will be taken. “These photos make great Christmas cards, too,” Song said.
Hot chocolate will be served, and the church’s youth group will be on hand to accept donations to support Second Story (https://second-story.org), a nonprofit serving youth in need.
