Black Nativity in Boston

Join a group of First Church folks as we head got Boston to witness Black Nativity by Langston Hughes, presented by the National Center of Afro-American Artists.  In its 55th year in Boston, Black Nativity tells the story of the birth of the Christ Child from the point of view of Black Americans in the early twentieth century. Amid the hilly streets of Bethlehem, a hotel with butlers and maids is set and filled with gospel music and gossipy chatter. In it the Holy Family find themselves surrounded by ordinary folk who welcome their message and sing it with joy. Though based on New Testament gospels, they offer the story as a testament to the joy of new births and to the hope that fills persons of “good will” from all traditions. Their message is one of transformation and spiritual uplift.  We have 15 tickets available for December 6 at 2:30pm. Tickets are $68 each; $34 for current youth group members (grade 6+).  Please register for tickets through the Church app or through the church website.
