CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS!

The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are called ADVENT, which means "coming". During this time, we prepare ourselves for the coming of the Christ Child. The sanctuary fills with poinsettias. A Chrismon tree is covered with white and gold Christian symbols, and our children present their annual Advent Play. A small manger scene in the sanctuary begins with an empty stable. As the weeks pass, the stable slowly fills with animals, Mary and Joseph, shepherds, angels - and finally the baby Jesus in a manger!

POINSETTIAS decorate the sanctuary throughout the Advent season. The plants are also taken to our shut-ins, and they may be dedicated in honor of a loved one. If you would like to donate poinsettias, click here.

Our LIVE NATIVITY is held on December 17th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Join us as we all travel to Bethlehem and re-enact the Christmas story. A stable on the grounds of Woodforest Presbyterian Church shelters goats, sheep, a camel - and the manger of course! Crowns, wings, and shepherds' crooks are provided for shepherds, angels and wise men of all ages and sizes.
