          We welcomed our summer music director “extraordinaire”, Marg Small  back from West Point for the Hanging of the Greens. Pastor Larry led us in the history of the evergreen to Christian tradition with readings and hymns. The choir was four strong but with Marg direction and enthusiasm, she made us sound like double our number.  Peter accompanied the hymns on the cornet and sang “O Christmas Tree” in the original German for Pastor Larry who grew up in Wisconsin where German was common in church.

The church was decorated during pauses in the service and now we are ready for this very special season as we await the birth of Jesus.
