Chrismon Preparing for Christmas. On December 8, St. Mark's held its first ever Chrismpn service. The congregation met for one service to explore the Chrismon tradition through readings and hymns.

The ornaments were placed on the tree during the service as we experienced the rich history of Chrismons. The youth of the Church assisted in placing the Chrismon's, during related Bible readings and hymns.

Here's what we experienced:

Trinity - Matthew 28: 16-20 - Holy, Holy, Holy
Fish - Luke 9:10-17 - Break Now the Bread of Life
Iota - Matthew 1: 18-23 - At the Name of Jesus
Crook - John 10:11 - Savior, like a Shepherd Lead Us
Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 - In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Crown of Thorns - John 19:1-5 - O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Butterfly - Mark 16: 1-7 - Thine Is the Glory
Lights - John 8:12 - I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light
