Walk the Nativity Trail – a 45 minute (3/4 mile) walking trail where you will move through the biblical story of Jesus’ birth through sight, sound, music, and reflection. Hear the Angels announce the upcoming birth, get stopped by a Census Taker, feed Mary’s tired donkey, and more!
Warm up inside with some festive food and drink! Hot cocoa and cookies, as well as some fun holiday crafts! Local vendors will have booths of Christmas gifts ready for purchase. You’ll also have a chance to learn about Ferncliff’s various ministries and how you can get involved year-round.
A Ferncliff Christmas will be open from 4:30pm-7:30pm on December 13th, 14th & 15th. Reserve your time slot with a ticket! The cost is $20 per car ($30 per large vehicle or church van) paid in cash upon arrival.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

WE NEED YOU!


Are you an amateur actor? A seasoned performer? An aspiring Broadway star? Simply loud and have a free weekend? For our fifth annual A Ferncliff Christmas, we are looking for actors to fill out the cast for a Nativity event unlike any other in town!
Guests will be led down a walking trail that covers about a mile through our beautiful Ferncliff property. Stations along the trail hold, either, self-led activities or short skits that help guide guests through a unique and immersive experience of the Christmas Story. And if acting in the Great Outdoors isn’t your cup of cocoa, we also have indoor volunteer opportunities at our Christmas Cafe and with arts and crafts opportunities.
We know availability during the holidays can be hard so we made signing up easy! Choose to volunteer for the whole weekend, one night, or even a partial evening.
