The 28th year of New Hope’s Living Christmas Tree has drawn to a close.

Hundreds of church members rallied together over the past few months in preparation to serve the community. From security men, soloists and backstage directors to cooks, greeters, parking and all participants, the seven presentations didn’t happen without the service-minded people of New Hope. It’s a beautiful thing when a church comes together for the sole purpose of joining God in kingdom work. Of course, this happens year-round, but it is extra intentional when 12,000+ people come through the doors during one week.

These are the pictures: part one of thee from this week. Enjoy!!
