Celebrate Advent: Greens and Christmas Eve

Join us Sunday, December 21, after the regular Worship service for Pastor Tom's final Advent class, discussing the meaning of the ​beautiful hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel."

Then please stay for the annual Hanging of the Christmas Greens, which will take place immediately following the class. According to St. John's Episcopal Church, "Early Christians placed evergreen boughs in the windows of their home to symbolize Christ’s presence. As Christians, the evergreens remind us of the everlasting life that is ours through Jesus Christ. As Advent transitions to the feast of Christmas, we gather and decorate the sanctuary with evergreen boughs to begin the celebration."

And we also look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, December 24, at 7 p.m. for our special Christmas Eve service.

Love came down at Christmas,

love all lovely, Love divine;

Love was born at Christmas;

stars and angels gave the sign.

~Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)

Merry Christmas, everyone!
