Greening of the Church

After Holy Eucharist on the fourth Sunday of Advent, during coffee hour, our parishioners traditionally join with the Flower Committee in spending an hour or two decorating our church for the Festival of Christmas. 

It's called the "Greening of the church"

Everyone helps out, from the youngest to the oldest, and in the process, everyone has quite a bit of fun.

Here are some Greening of the Church photos from past Christmases at Trinity Lime Rock. (click on any of the pictures to see a larger image).

Interestingly, but not altogether surprisingly, once Christmas is over and Epiphany is here, it is time for the DE-Greening of the Church.  Yes, we make an event out of that, too!
