Last weekend Normandy Christian Church between Des Moines and Normandy Park is again offered a unique holiday treat.
From Dec. 14 to Dec. 16, the church presented its annual "Drive-through Christmas Story".
Visitors to the event were transported to Bethlehem while driving through the church parking lot.
Participants saw scenes of angels, shepherds, a donkey, sheep and goats. Scenes included the Nativity with church volunteers portraying Mary, Joseph and the Wise Men.
