Christmas Eve worship


The sanctuary was decorated with poinsettias for Chrismas Eve worship. Every Sunday in Advent, the visual arts committee added more decorations until Christmas Eve! Look back at the second sunday in Advent to compare, click here. Gloria Dei Lutheran Church members & visitors had 4 Christmas Eve services from which to choose.

Oh, my! Yes, there really is a huge difference created by all the lovely red poinsettias. With or without the flowers, the sanctuary is quite beautiful.

Beautiful indeed. Just with what it needs. Nothing more, nothing less. Assume the atmosphere to be holy indeed.

Oh, lovely! It's the christmassiest church I've seen so far. Our church has (I'm embarrassed) two poinsettias.
