After the holidays, a real
Christmas tree keeps on giving:
* Placed in the garden or
backyard, the Christmas tree will
provide winter shelter for small
birds. Anothergood idea is to
decorate the tree again. This time
- hang it with special treats for the
birds: Orange slices will attract
birds, as will peanut butter spread
on tree seed cones; or hang suet
balls stuffed with sunflower seeds.
If you set your tree outside for the
birds, remember to carefully
remove all tinsel. Birds will try to
eat the shiny stuff and it will make
them sick.
* A Christmas tree is
biodegradable. Its branches and
needles make a good mulch in the
garden, especially for plants like
rhododendrons which like an acid
soil. Many cities and
municipalities gather Christmas
trees on special collection days
and put them through shredders
which chop them up into small
pieces. The resulting mulch is

then used in the summer on the
flower beds in city parks.
* Fir tree foliage can be stripped
from the branches and snipped
into small pieces for stuffing into
aromatic fir needlepillows for the
sofa or bedroom. Some people
also use fir foliage in dresser
drawers to give clothing and
blankets a fragrant aroma.
* Large quantities of used trees
make effective sand and soil
erosion barriers, especially at
beaches.
* Old Christmas trees stacked
together in a forest provide shelter
for rabbits and other small
animals.
* Sunk into fish ponds, Christmas
trees make excellent refuge and
feeding areas.
* Woodworking hobbyists can
make a multitude of items from
the trunk of a used Christmas tree
including buttons, gavels and
candleholders.

Jack Clarke has been very busy
in his woodkworking business
getting people's orders-made for
Christmas. He is set up at Val's
Sewing and Family Crafts
_ downtown Walton. You name it
and Jack can make it out of wood,
from birdhouses and feeders to
bookcases and shadow boxes. He is
now starting outdoor furniture.
to Worship and the Introit was
sung.
Patty Banks and Jennifer
McClure lit the four Advent
candles and read the litany.
The junior choir sang Child of
Bethlehem and Oh What a
Beautiful Gift. Gloria Wilbee then
played her guitar and sang, 0 Holy
Night.
The children were called forward
and Andrew McDonald presented a
gift to Rev. Murray on behalf of the
Sunday School. The children then
went downstairs and created a
nativity scene with cardboard
people and sheep made with real
lambs wool. Frankincense and
myrrh incense was burned while
Christmas carols were playing as
they created their scene.
During the offering Keith Wilbee
on his saxophone and Elva Wilbee
at the piano played Oh Beautiful
Star of Bethlehem.
Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, "Risky Love". He told a
story about one of his friends who
separents dared to love and marry
and have children even though the
odds were against them. Even
though they didn't know how it
would turn out they were willing to
take the risk.
The Christmas story is full of
risk, he said, as Mary and Joseph
risked their lives and reputations on
a baby. It was a moment full of
sacrifice based on a promise. It was
a moment of loving God more than
life itself.
Joseph didn't believe Mary at
first when she told him that she was
pregnant. It took an angel with a
message to get through to Joseph.
He married Mary and he trusted her
and he trusted God. He trusted the
child.
Communion was served by
Leona McDonald, Rev. Murray and
Neil and Marie McGavin.
Christmas Eve service will be
Thursday at 8:30 p.m.
