The worship committee noticed our Chrismons needed refreshing. Then the question came: What are Chrismons? Why do we have them and how long have we had them? Time is so short in the Advent season that we are doing Christmas in JULY. Come sing Christmas carols, enjoy the make a salad lunch coordinated by the WCDANS, and make or refresh the Chrismons.
Think of various symbols and join us on July 27 after the 10 a.m. service to update the Chirsmons. Lafayette Park has had Chrismons since the late 1970s. Beth Coffey provided some of the original designs, which we are still using.
WHAT'S A CHRISMON?
Chrismons are a type of Christmas Tree decoration used in many churches and often in the homes of Christians. The symbols used represent a variety of biblical and theological concepts that are well known among most believers.
Technically, if the ornaments on a Christmas tree are comprised mostly of Christian symbols, the tree is known as a "Chrismon Tree." Most Chrismons are white with gold decorations of beads, ribbon, glitter, etc.
