November 30
A Service for the Hanging of the Greens
A service for the Hanging of the Greens at the Emporia First Presbyterian Church will be on Sunday, November 30, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. This will be an approach to the Advent-Christmas Season through a service of music, prayers, scripture and ritual. The community is invited to join us in this festive and spiritual service of the decoration of our beautiful Sanctuary.
The Meaning of the Service
Christmas actually begins with Advent, the season through which we still are moving. The seasons of Advent-the season of "going toward" the birth of Christ-and Christmas, the time of God's physical entrance into our world, both have a long history. Like a great cathedral, these seasons and their customs have developed through many centuries.
On the night of this service our church building will begin to wear its Christmas apparel. For the first time the Christmas tree will stand in the sanctuary. This night for the first time its light will shine for us. We make ready for the birthday of the King, much as we would make ready for a banquet with a Royal host, by dressing in our best apparel. We are mindful that although it is not Christmas yet, it will be here soon, very soon.
As we decorate the church, not only will we explain the history of the symbols of these special seasons, but we will dedicate these symbols-and ourselves- to the glory of God and His Son.
For information please call: 634-2300 or 634-2574
