St Paul is presenting the Living Christmas Tree program on Saturday, December 4th, 2004 at 4:30 and 7:00 PM and Sunday, December 5th, 2004 at 4:30 PM.

The surrounding communities are invited to this inspiring program put on by the Choirs of St Paul's since 1991. 

The program was put on annually for the first few years, then switched to semi-annually.  People from the choir say how this program changes their lives each time they put it on.  The fact that a small church in Sadorus can put on a program like this, and that it all comes together each year.

Each year, free will offerings from the programs are designated for Missions. This year (2004), Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Champaign County Chapter will match donations, and St Paul's will use the additional funding to purchase some sound equipment to improve the performances for this and future years.

Do I need to make reservations?

Tickets are required to attend the performance, but they are free. You may contact the church and have some put aside with your name for whichever performance you want to attend. A free will offering will be taken during the program. Seating is not reserved, so come early to get the best seats.

How to get there?

For now, here is a semi-random assortment of pictures from previous years; building the tree and putting the branches on it:
