Hanging of the Greens Service - December 3, 2008

As we begin the Christian Year, we also celebrate the Holy Season known as Advent. It is a time when we prepare ourselves for the celebration of our Savior's birth. Advent has been enriched by Christian traditions, one of which is the observance of “The Hanging of the Greens,” an old English custom of decorating one's home with evergreens and other festive items.

At Palisades we have continued the tradition of “The Hanging of the Greens” by decorating God's house during a worship service. We encourage you to invite your family, neighbors and friends to join us on Wednesday, December 3 at 7:00 p.m. for a wonderful evening of Christmas music, readings and fellowship as we decorate our sanctuary for the Christmas season. Prior to the service, dinner will be offered at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall and Youth Hall. The nursery for children under 3 will be open for the dinner hour as well as during the service. We hope you will join us.
