Hanging of the Greens at Bremen Union Church November 30th. Bremen Union Church’s traditional Hanging of the Greens service will be held at 9:55 am on Sunday, November 30. This special service on the first Sunday of Advent involves decorating the church for the Christmas season and includes short readings about the meaning of all the various items. The congregation participates in the readings and positioning of the decorations such as banners, wreaths, evergreens and poinsettias. In addition to bringing forward the Advent Wreath, the background of the creche will be installed and some of the animals added. Finally, the large Christmas tree in the sanctuary will be decorated and lit. This is a great way to introduce children to the Christmas season in a fun and joyous service. And, of course, some Christmas songs are included. Bremen Union Church is located at 523 Waldoboro Rd. (Rt.32) in Bremen. The service begins with announcements at 9:55, with the service starting at 10:00 am.

Christmas Music Friday December 12 at 6 pm with Rusty Hinges at Bremen Union Church come join the fun at 6 pm on Friday, December 12, with Rusty Hinges leading us in Christmas carols. We hope this will be an annual tradition geared especially for kids and families, with music from 6 to 7 pm, followed by cocoa and goodies. The event will also include a fundraiser for the Waldoboro Food Pantry. Either donations of cash which allows the Pantry to purchase food at bargain prices from Good Shepherd Food Bank, or non perishable food items or hygiene/cleaning materials will be appreciated. Bremen Union Church (523 Waldoboro Rd. , Rt. 32, Bremen) will be decorating for Christmas at a Hanging of the Greens service on November 30, so the digs and mood will be festive! And who can go wrong with the Rusty Hinges!
