The Hanging of the Green worship service is an opportunity to celebrate the beginning of Advent. Advent means "a coming" and celebrates the coming of Jesus Christ born as a baby to deliver us from our sins. The Hanging of the Green service helps explain what the various symbols used at Christmas represent in regards to our Christian faith. For example, the evergreen represents eternal life offered by Jesus. Bells have been used to annoucnce the birth of royalty. The circle design of the wreaths symbolize the never ending love of God for us. Throughout this special service we are given many reminders about how much God loves us and the great lengths that He went to by sending his only son to be born, grow up and die on a cross for us.
