Live Nativity
You and your families are warmly invited to the 10th annual RCS Live Nativity on Thursday night, December 6th, at Rockford Christian School (6060 Belding Road, Rockford, MI 49341 for those of you who have never been here). Our 7th and 8th grade students are the participants, along with live animals…including but not limited to a real camel.

Scripture will be read by RCS parents, GRCS central office personnel, and RCS staff.  Artwork created by RCS students will also be on display around school.

Hot chocolate and goodies will also be available. This is certainly a great family event!

Come and celebrate the gift of our Savior and enjoy the community at RCS!

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them” (Luke 2: 4-7).
