A holiday tradition continues. After a couple of years on hiatus, the Richmond Nativity Pageant is back in business. The main change is the location. Once an annual event at the Carillon near Byrd Park, it is now being held at the Scottish Rite Temple in Richmond.
The Order of the Arrow is being asked once again by the community to help staff this production. We will need 30-40 volunteers that are willing to make a commitment for service time on December 21 and December 22 in preparation and the execution of the Richmond Nativity Pageant.
On December 21, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., there will be a rehearsal at the Scottish Rite Temple located at 4204 Hermitage Road in Richmond. We will designate which volunteers will help with set movement, a welcoming committee, and those helping with traffic control.
Then on December 22, the same volunteers need to return to the Scottish Rite Temple to conduct another rehearsal beginning at 4:00 p.m., just before the actual performance beginning at 7:00 p.m., and concluding about 8:30 p.m. Arrowmen are asked to be in Class A uniform (without OA sash) for this event.
Because we are now indoors for this event, there is no rain date required as in the past. More information about the pageant can be found on the Pageant's website at http://
The Christmas holiday is a time of giving. What better way, the OA way, to serve our community than with our service.
