Hanging of the Greens Blessing for All


The Hanging of the Greens worship service Sunday evening of December 2 was well attended, but especially by our little Peoples people! We sang carols as the kids decorated the tree and adults hung wreaths and other greens around the Sanctuary.

Then Rosemary Herd led the story telling time, only she had each of the reading-aged children do the reading, and parents and grandparents came up with their children to place one of the creche figures into the stable which now sits prominantly on the altar.

The kids brought their gifts to place under the tree for Red Bird Mission while we sang "We Three Kings." The lights were lowered as we sang "Silent Night" and the Lord was surely in our midst. .

The pastors were especially appreciative of being able to worship together as a family, and thank Chris Ward and Rosemary Herd for heading up the service, and Kit Pike for leading the hymns on piano.

Prepare your hearts for the coming of the Lord!
