There will not be Bible Study December 24th or 31st. We will resume our study of Exodus on January 7th.


The Chrismon Tree - Chrismons are white and gold Christian monograms and symbols. The name is a combination of "Christ" and "monogram". The white symbolizes joy and holiness, while the gold represents glory and royalty. The symbols carry meaning and are meant to teach about Christ and the faith of the Church. Each week as we move through Advent toward Christmas several Chrismons will be added to our Chrismon Tree.

.
