The Ellwood City Municipal Woman’s House Tour features something a little different this year – a church!
Trinity Lutheran Church will be part of the tour, and it is truly a magical sight to say the least.
From the aw-inspiring stained glass windows to the realistic decorative organ pipes, the Christmas decor adds an appropriate accenting holiday atmosphere.
According to Barb Beachem, a life-long member of the church, it took about six church volunteers to put the decorations up and only about an hour to do so, not including the time it took to hang ornaments.
Besides the manger, which lacks a baby Jesus until the night before Christmas, the other centerpiece is the large tree, decorated with ornaments that have been handcrafted by members of the church using a variety of mediums.
“Over the years we have collected ornaments donated by our church members who have used a variety of craft items like fabric, wood, and paper, to make,” Beachem said.
The Christmas holiday is one of the most popular times of the year for the church, followed by other Christ-related holidays such as Easter and Palm Sunday.
