1st Sunday After Epiphany

Church this morning. Dale and I were lobby hosts. 

After the service Dale and I helped Rosemary take down the decorations and lights of the outdoor Christmas tree.

Before Christmas I had bought a memorial of a poinsettia for Dad for them to use to decorate the church. Dale had a meeting at church recently and brought it home for me (not the one shown above). It was in a bag and I haven't even opened it yet. They're bad for cats so I put it upstairs. 

Advent 2017 - Advent 4

Occasionally Advent 4 falls on Christmas Eve. Double church duty today.

Emma joyfully greeted me at church this morning and informed me they had found a rainbow tiara for me to wear in the Christmas pageant that will be performed during the Christmas Eve service tonight.  I didn't even know I was in it!! Well, if I get to wear a rainbow tiara, I'M IN!!!

After the service I helped set the candles out for the service tonight. I think I do pretty good work. However, I told everyone involved that if anyone else asks who was responsible for the candles to tell them that they have no idea because this is SO not about me. Tonight it's all about the baby Jesus.
:-)

Lot's of other folks helped set stuff up too.

Christmas Season 2015/2016 - Poinsettia

Brought this beauty home from church today.

Advent 2013 - Greening of Gethsemane 4

A sea of poinsettias in the sanctuary just waiting to be set out. I must say the place looked lovely by the time we were done with it. Preparation fuels anticipation.
