Advent decorating

On Saturday we decorated the church for Advent. We were small in number but we got a lot done. Jamime Todd and I pulled all the decorations down from the tower room and then Patricia Ohlund began sorting through them and directing us as to where everything went. Oliver Bray went to work putting up the candelabras and Mark Rogers began hanging the large wreathes.

Steve Ohlund tackled the large Christmas tree. He hung the garland and placed the ornaments with care. Zelda Fellows hung the greens around the sanctuary. Doris Adams set up our various nativity sets and Patricia went around giving suggestions and making everything look nice.

We had one problem. The candles I bought had too much of a waxy coating on them and we had to scrap them. They would not stand up in our holders without falling. We could not place them safely so I'll be heading out looking for more candles this week.

It was a nice morning and you will be blessed when you come to worship this week.
