Every year the ladies of the Stine Sunday School class decorate the sanctuary tree with hand-made Christmas ornaments that have been part of the church decorations for a LONG time!! These special ornaments are called "Crismons". The name is a variation on Christmas ornaments and they usually depict symbols, or objects associated with Jesus Christ or the Christian faith.
Here is a picture of the entire tree. I'll be posting some of the individual ornaments while I catch up with December 2021.
I see many that are similar to the ones on our sanctuary tree. We also make small Chrismons to give away on Christmas eve each year. Our tradition began in 1991, which happened to be the 1st year I was a member, so my family has them all.
