Hanging of the Greens

Hanging of the Greens is a festive gathering that marks the beginning of Advent. We hope you will join us as we decorate the church with evergreens and other symbols that represent of Advent and Christmas.

Advent is a season of preparation for Jesus’ birth.  Greenery and decorations placed around the church will be much more than just pretty ornamentation. Each has a special meaning directing us towards Christ: Greenery is associated with everlasting life. Wreaths are circles that symbolize eternity – they have no beginning or end. This year, the largest tree in the sanctuary will be decorated with Chrismons. Chrismons, meaning “Christ monograms,” traditionally are white and gold designs made from Christian symbols that signify Christ.
