We sell many of our Nativity sets to churches, and we often receive requests from a church official or purchasing committee for a reference from another church that has recently purchased a similar set. We’d like to share a reply we received from one of our satisfied customers, a member of a small church who kindly agreed to serve as a reference.

Her note to a prospective customer read, in part:

“Cedar Island United Methodist Church is a small rural church. We only have about 75 members, but we do have a lot of children (what a blessing). We have had an old plastic Nativity set since I can remember. We decided a couple of years ago that we were going to start a Nativity scene fund and just have members give what they could along the way. We began getting $5 and $10 donations. It took us a while, but we finally raised what we needed to make a purchase.

When I called Christmas Night Inc., a wonderful customer service representative worked with us to get the 10-piece set for not much more than we had raised. God is good: when we announced at church the amount we were short, it was collected that week. We placed the order and it came quickly. One of the Wise Men’s knees was cracked; we simply took a photo, emailed it to the company, and within a couple of days we got the replacement.

The pieces are absolutely beautiful. We could hardly believe that a small church could have anything that beautiful. It looks like something you would see in a big church in a big city. Needless to say, our members and children are delighted and cannot wait until we bring them out again. The folks at Christmas Night are wonderful and add a personal touch to their customer service. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a Nativity scene for their church.”

This wonderful letter had us blushing, but we also wanted to share her heartfelt sentiments. If your church is saving for a Nativity set, browse our outdoor Nativity sets or contact us—we’re happy to help you find the right set for your congregation.
