Live Nativity Weather--Mild And With An Added Bonus

Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa held its Live Nativity event on Wednesday, December 14, 2022--typically a time of year that is cold and snowy. Not so this year. Early evening temperatures hovered around 40 degrees F. An added bonus was fiery clouds in the western sky, enhanced by the sun from an open gap along the horizon. The image above was captured at 4:59 pm CST, an hour before the start of the Live Nativity event.
