Yes, I know that a lot of churches have special Christmas programs that welcome one & all to participate. But it will always give me shivers of joy wandering around the cathedral's Choir Hall during the annual Star of Wonder event, the first Saturday in December.
Everyone is smiles as adults & children work on decorating cookies, making star ornaments, crafting centerpieces.
As someone who grew up experiencing the Choir Hall as just a space to stand around in during a wedding reception or what you walk through on your way into services, is it a never-ending joy to feel the warmth & good fellowship, the welcoming aura that fills the room throughout the year, but especially at Christmastide. During the Star of Wonder, it feels like the building is holding all of us in a happy holiday hug. What could be a more real deal?!!
