Lessons and Carols 2024

Ok, I really wasn’t sure if I would ever get back to posting on the blog. But then I was looking at the printed blog books I have from over the years and I realized I would be sad to not continue that. So, here we are well into 2025 and finally catching up on 2024 and 2025.

First up in my major catch up….The Lessons and Carols event at church. This is the second year we’ve had a Lessons and Carols service at Redeemer. In 2023, when they decided to start this tradition, they asked my fellow wedding coordinator friend and I to plan a dinner to go along with the service. We had so much fun planning an elegant dinner together. Then, a week before the event, DJ had his seizure and I had to drop out of the event. Jennifer and some other ladies pulled off a beautiful evening and managed to have enough for 300 people even though we only planned for about 200. When our assistant pastor asked us to plan this year’s event again, it brought up a lot of feelings but I was excited at the chance to be able to be there this year. They decided to shift to a dessert reception after the service instead of the dinner because of the growth at church. This made planning much simpler but Jennifer and I wanted to make it just as elegant as the previous year. We love working on events together and had a blast planning this one. And it was so nice to be able to be there in person this year to see the fruits of our weeks of planning.
