We have a Christmas tree at West Suffield Congregational Church that gets decorated every month. When I came into church for Rally Sunday, I was greeted by the most beautiful tree yet. Running down the center of it was the words “Welcome Back”, with the initials WSCC at the top. Welcome back was written in beautiful script on cards in Korean, French, Norwegian and many other languages. The tree was decorated with hydrangeas and ribbons. I thought it was the perfect tree for our church, because we are so warm and inviting.
Welcoming Tree
A big part of our church is our children. We want them to feel as welcome as the adults, and towards that goal we are throwing them a Halloween bash on Saturday, October 25, from 3 to 5 p.m. There will be games, music, a piñata, food and just plain old fun. Every year I wait to see the costumes. We’ll have a parade for them the next day in church so the congregation can see them, too.
Consider stopping by some Sunday if you don’t already attend, you will be welcomed….. it’s what we do.
