Greening of the Church is a much-loved tradition here at Briarcliff Congregational Church.

We celebrate the weeks leading up to Christ’s birth by starting to decorate prior to Advent. The Women’s Society began this year by decorating new pillar candles and placing one at each of the stained glass windows in the sanctuary. Then with clippers in hand we fashioned fresh greens into wreaths for the church doors. The whole church was invited one evening to continue decorating, followed by a Greening Party. The final step was to set up both red and white poinsettias and fill the candelabras at the front of the church ready for Christmas Eve.
