Christmas at Zion has been put away for another year. The only signs that remain are some poinsettias (their days are numbered) and the wreaths on the doors. The 15 foot Christmas tree had its branches cut off and was pushed out the window. Everything else was packed away for another year.
Many thanks go to the people who helped set up and take down. It truly is an example of many hands make for light work. The clean up took less than an hour. Many, many thanks go to Peter Melick who picked up the 15’ tree in Bethlehem Township.
The great mystery of the season was “What happened to the plastic candle holders that we use during the Christmas Eve Candlelight service?” When we discovered an empty space in the narthex closet and no candle holders a few days before Christmas panic set in. We searched and searched. Nothing. We needed to order new holders FAST. And we found Out of Stock until December 26th. Finally success with expedited shipping. The question remains “what happened to the candle holders?”.
The Worship and Music Committee spent many hours re-working the Christmas Eve service. We moved to a service that more reflects our traditional worship service using Christmas carols as part of the liturgy. A discerning eye will notice we changed fonts that will continue to be used throughout the year. We would love to hear your comments.
