Christmas Season
|
Chrismon Tree
The Chrismon Tree originated in 1957 in the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of the Ascension, Danville, Virginia. From that
beginning, the idea has spread to Christians all over the world.
The evergreen tree, which symbolizes the eternal
life which our Saviour has won for us, is a background for tiny
white lights and white and gold Chrismons. The lights
speak of Him who is the light of the world, and the Chrismons
(CHRISt-MONograms) proclaim the name, the life and the saving
acts of Jesus the Christ.
Some Chrismons are simple copies of symbols of
Christianity from its earliest days, others are new
explanations of God's never-changing presence in our
ever-changing world, and some are combinations of several
parts, new and old. |

– The Season of Advent begins at the church on Sunday, November 23,
at 1:00 with the traditional "Hanging of the Greens." This
church-wide event is sponsored by the Fellowship Committee. Many
hands make less work (and much more fun!) as we decorate the
Sanctuary, Great Hall, and lawn with beautiful reminders of why we
celebrate Christmas. Activities will be provided for the children
in the Fellowship Hall. We'll join together for a meal.
