Hanging of the Green

As we enter the season of Advent, we warmly invite you to join us for a special Hanging of the Green service at Cross and Crown. This meaningful tradition marks the beginning of our preparation for the coming of Christ, a time to reflect on the hope and joy of the Christmas season.

This service is for all ages, and we encourage everyone to take part in helping prepare our sanctuary for the celebration of Christ’s birth. It's a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to come together in community as we prepare our hearts for Advent.

We hope you’ll join us for this time of worship and fellowship as we enter this holy season with anticipation and joy.  Come and prepare with us, as we await the Light of the World!

After the service, all are invited to participate in our Advent Wreath-Making event! This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals, families, and friends to create their own Advent wreaths to take home. Each wreath will serve as a reminder of the journey through Advent, with candles lit each week to mark the growing light of Christ in the world.  The event is free to participate in—one wreath per family. Please bring hand-held garden trimmers, gardening gloves, greens from your yard, or family, friends and neighbors' yards.  If you still have your candle holders from last year, please bring those too.  Greens can be dropped off in the fellowship hall on Saturday, November 23rd.
