The topics of these sessions will be as follows:

Behind the (Beautiful) Scenes at All Saints

In the announcements on Christmas Eve, Ted thanked all those whose labor of love transformed our lovely sanctuary into a place of exceptional beauty for our worship and celebration of the birth of Christ. Our sanctuary was resplendent with flowers, wreaths, and candles.  As a member of the Vestry, I know the Vestry echo's Ted's comments and also thanks the members of the Alter and Flower Guilds, and others for their exemplary work.  

 

Between Christmas Eve services, I came back to our church with my camera to try to capture the beauty in our sanctuary. Many thanks to Ron Sundquist, Co-President of the Wolfeboro Camera Club, for his suggestions on possible camera angles that would best capture this beauty.

Also, you may click on the web site found in the next paragraph that has photos and short video clips of the Christmas Pageant that our youth presented to the congregation on the Sunday before Christmas.  We feel grateful, as the pageant  added greatly to our worship experience.  Just click on Start Slideshow, and that program that lasts just over 5 minutes will run automatically.
