Welcome to our church family
We’re glad that you could come
We’re honoured to share this day with you
As we worship God’s risen Son
We hope that God has touched your life
As we worshipped side by side
And that you left this place today
With the peace of God inside

Yesterday our ladies group (L.E.G.S) had a church bizarre. The LEGS stands for Ladies Empowered by God's Spirit. We all had a great time and earned money for a projector system for our preacher. The bizarre was kind of a last minute decision but we are all pleased at how well it turned out. I think it may be a yearly event even.
Here is our sanctuary tree. It took about 10 of us and a big ladder to set it up. Christmas music was playing in the background and children were running up and down the isles playing tag. It was a true moment I had to stop and enjoy.
Beautiful poinsettias line the alter and our advent candles are at the end. We lit the Joy candle on Sunday. Do you have any joys today? I do. It makes me so happy to have met such sweet bloggers and get such wonderful comments. I am truly thankful!
Here is our Fellowship Hall tree. This is where we had our bizarre. Here are some of the things we had for sale.
So many goodies and yummies!
I hope you are having a great day today. The anticipation of Christmas is half the joy!
Day 13's matchbox comes from Cami of Creating Myself Creatively. Cami has a beautiful blog and is so talented. She is a very kind soul. Thank you Cami!!
I adore the little boot on the front of music. And on the inside is a beautiful angel. To make it even more special she stamped the word believe on the inside! So precious!!
(My sweet husband was messing with the camera, lol. No it is not a flashback, it is still 2010. I am not quite sure why it says that, tehe) I will have to ask him to mess with it some more and take the date off for me.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

I'm glad you liked the box Mandie! And thanks for the compliments, you're a kind soul yourself.
Your church is beautiful ...and I'm sure the bazaar was a lot of fun.
wow, such beautiful pictures. looks like lots of goodies at the bazaar too! So many blessings :-)

Oh wow, what lovely photos
The candy tradition sounds heavenly :) Over here the neighbours tend to keep themselves to themselves. They'll help out if need be and say hello & all but don't really get all that friendly. I have written some Christmas cards to them to get to know them a little bit better. By the way have you heard from Maureen (Yultide Seasoning) at all? I haven't heard from her for about 4 weeks now, getting a bit worried.
Merry Christmas to you & yours too Mandie.
Love your church

A beautiful matchbox today!
What a lovely box. I like the word stamped inside. So many great ideas from this little Christmas swap.
Your church looks so inviting. All the items for sale looked great too. I didn't make it to any boutiques this year. We were busy with cruise vacation and health issues.
Lovely pictures and a sweet matchbox today!
Glad your church bizarre went well! My mouth watered at the site of the goodie table!! Your church looks lovely.
Many blessings,
Dorothy

All your photos are lovely - the tree is beautiful and all those lovely goodies for the bazaar, no wonder it went so well!
I have your matchbox number 23 which is lovely. The little gingerbread star decoration is adorable - did you make it yourself?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.
Hi Mandie,
Hope you are well. I haven't seen any posts since the 13th and was concerned about you. Hope you have a very Happy New Year and hope all is well with you.
