A Montgomery County church tree burning was more than a way to get rid of old Christmas trees, but a way to fan the flames of fellowship to cast a light from the darkness in the world.
Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining says this ancient tradition, which the church has done for eight years, is a favorite for parishioners and people community."It’s just a get-together time, which our country really needs," Linda McConnell stated, as Delia Raining added, "It’s a really great way to meet a lot of new people."
New people, new faces. Some facing similar circumstances, in a world Raining has great hope for. "My hope for this country is that we are able to rise above the things that divide us. That might sound generic to say, but I actually think if we step back and stop saying one side versus another side, our side versus your side and remind ourselves of the great expression that we are two wings of the same bird. We can only fly when we are flapping together.
