Greening Service at Church

Posted in Mystery of History

Last night was our greening service at church, or hanging of the greens.  Whatever it's called.  For the explanation/framework of each element, our family did a skit instead of someone just reading it.  We were on stage in front of a faux fireplace as if we were decorating at home.  We discussed the meaning of each part (evergreens, poinsettias, wreaths, candles) with the kids, and then the whole congregation decorated the sanctuary.  During the part about the evergreens, Spenser read about Boniface from our Mystery of History 2  book.  So that was neat-- to bring our school to church LOL.

Overall I thought the service was nice but too somber.  Next year I think we should have cookies and play festive music.  A girl can dream right?

I love how you did so much fun stuff with MOH. We are going to start in January, volume I, and I hope I can make it as much fun as you seem to! My kids are 7th, 6th, 4th, preK, and 3yo...
