Our annual First Baptist Church Ladies Christmas Party was on Friday December 3rd. There were 13 tables in total with chairs enough for 130 gals 4th grade and up. You could sign up to do a centerpiece for one of the tables.
Mine was #7 and my favorite was #6.
There were a little over 120 ladies/girls who attended. Everyone brought a savory or sweet holiday treat to share. The party committee planned a nice program with solos, duets and reflections on Christmas. The sound of 120 female voices singing Christmas Carols together was lovely. It was a fun evening and it was nice to have longer conversations that a Sunday morning doesn’t afford.
It’s hard to see all the details on this centerpiece but they were well thought out and executed. Table #2 won the ‘Most Fun’ award.
We still have snow on the ground. This morning our low was in the teens. We will get above freezing today so some snow will melt and the roads will be a sandy dirty snow mess. I’m off to town while things are still frozen to get our Christmas letter copied. If I drive when things are still frozen my white car avoids looking like a brown car after my 6 mile roundtrip to town. Our family decided on stocking gifts only this year so all my shopping is done. Funny thing, most of the gifts we bought will not fit in a stocking. Maybe we didn’t follow the rules.
How is the wonder of it all shaping up at your place? For myself I need to pause and spend some time reflecting on the miracles of Christmas from the realms of glory!
All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th’eternal Three in One.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn king.

The grinch table is fun indeed!! I, too, love #7 and I love yours, too! Is that a Russian Tea Set in the center of the table?
Hi Lisa, It’s a Samovar with some Russian wooden decorated cups. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
…they all are colorful and festive!
They are so beautiful!! You have some very creative ladies.
What a fun idea! I suspected yours was #7 by the Russian dolls. Such a great idea.
Festive tables! Looks like a fun event.
Sounds like a lot of fun. We don’t even have that many ladies in our whole church!
The centerpieces were so pretty.
I like the nesting dolls – I have a small collection.
What absolutely festive and creative tables. You church ladies outdid yourselves.
Hello,
The tables and decorations look so festive and pretty. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
I’ll bet that was a fun event. It is good to have those opportunities for further conversation and to strengthen relationships. So many festive table centerpieces and yours is great! I love your meditations at the end of this post. Indeed, I do need to spend more time pondering the amazing story of how He came and why He came!!
