The Decorating of the Church

Every year the young people decorate the auditorium and the Sunday School rooms at the church.  Last Sunday after the morning service, we were invited along with the young people for a delicious lunch of homemade pizza.  Then the trees were brought in,  the lights and ornaments put on, wreaths, garlands, and icicle lights hung.  It is a good thing we have a couple of tall fellas that climb the ladders to hang the icicle lights.

When the decorating was finished, then we worked on the reader's theater play that the young people are doing for the Christmas Program. They are a great group of kids and really have fun whenever they are serving. 

The last thing to add to the auditorium decorations is the flower arrangement.  I had to show the cardinal table runner I got and the cardinal ornaments Kari made me.  I tried the runner in the church but it looked at little "campy" for the auditorium.
I have been inspired to get busy with decorating my house - but made homemade raspberry jelly today, instead.  Tomorrow night is our Ladies Christmas Fellowship.
