Tradition
Chrismons™ Tree viewing
During these times of COVID-19, the Chrismons committee at Ascension has had to get very creative.
Our Advent/Christmas tradition will indeed continue in 2020 with a Chrismons tree. However, it will be on display outside under the cross/steeple.
The live cedar tree will have all new, weather safe Chrismons. Our 2020 tree will be inspired by the first Chrismons tree at Ascension collaborated by Frances Spencer in 1957.
The tree will be ready for visitors Sunday, December 13 & continue through January 2. As always, the viewing is free to the public. There are no reservations required.
We welcome you to come see this wonderful tradition continue in hopes that it will stir in your heart what the Chrismons ministry set out to do back in 1957.
Chrismons™ Patterns
The original patterns and books designed by Mrs. Spencer are also available for purchase along with Cross-stitch Patterns, Samuel Sparrow and the Tree of Light Children's Book and The Chrismonstm Explanation Book.

History

The Chrismonstm Tree tradition has continued at Ascension Lutheran Church for over fifty years. Mrs. Spencer stated a tree was never finished until someone came to see it and have the story of Christ explained to them through the ornaments. Today the original ornaments are joined by gifts from around the globe.
