United Methodist Church has a fondness for ways to celebrate Christmas. Just one of its churches, Roswell United Methodist Church in GA have begun to produce an annual Christmas play. The play is special because of its performers. Members of Noah's Ark Sunday School class, a ministry serving about 30 developmentally disabled adults, put together a Christmas play bringing warmth to the audience for three years.
"Like the famous vessel, they are navigating the world with God’s blessing" (UMNS). The special ministry has been in place for more than 20 years, and the purity and "unconditional love" of the performers surround the viewers. They transport an audience of 200 to Bethlehem where Jesus is born to celebrate this Christmas season with the warmth and love of God. “I look at them, and I think, ‘That’s the way God intends us to be,’” says Nabors, “They have such unconditional love – they teach us so much.”
