We began the Christmas season early with the White Gift service the Sunday after Thanksgiving. This is always our family's favorite Christmas church service. Both Ben and Mollie Grace participated in the children choirs.
The 4-year-olds practicing before church started.
The Kindergarten and first graders sang together. I couldn't get them all in one shot so this is just the first graders.
After the children's choirs sing, we take our white gifts (bags of can food to stock the church's food pantry) to the front, get a candle from the youth group then return to our pew. We sing Christmas carols and one row at a time goes to the front of the church. The lights in the sanctuary are slowly dimmed until it is lit only by candles.
