It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Our church was decorated a week ago for Christmas.  Today tables were added for the banquet that was held for our senior adults this evening.  They had about 270 confirmed but possibly more would have shown up.  The trees you will see outside were given to us by one of the church members who has a nursery.  They are planted in the ground and were all completely straight until our high winds. 

If you are tired of looking at our church - - - then I would skip the rest of this post.  Remember it is all new to us still since we have only been there for 2 1/2 months.

 

 

 

The double doors are the middle entrance to the sanctuary.

Each centerpiece was from Department 56.   Someone had enough and allowed the church to borrow them.  Then a simple circle garland  was added for a bit more festivity.

 

 

Notice the evergreen on the stairs.

 

Since you have now seen about a gazillion pictures of the Commons Area, let me finally take you into the sanctuary.

You actually enter on the ground floor.  There are no entrances in the balcony area.  You use the stairs.

The doors are the ones you saw in the commons area.  It is not the only entrance.  The sanctuary seats 1,400.

 Doors above are on left in this picture below.  The library where I work is underneath this area of the balcony.

All the chairs are comfortable but especially these on the ground floor.

Back to the Commons Area one more time.  Look at this pretty arrangement which can be found just inside the church's entrance.  The second picture shows the thinness of the container.  And that's all for tonight - - - it's more than enough, isn't it?

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.  Psalms 122:1
