The event was organized by Cheryl Ehlers and Tracey Caruso. This is their fifth year of coordinating the wreath-making event and the second year that it was hosted by CCSP. When asked what her favorite part of the day was, Ehlers responded, “I love the joy on the women's faces.” astor Tim Green also stated that he liked to see how everyone pulled together to serve those who are coming to the church. “That's authentic Christianity,” he noted.
Special thanks was given to Martin's Christmas Tree Farm, located at 699 Porter McNutt Lane in Belle Vernon. They donated all of the branches for the wreaths. Martin's Tree Farm is family owned and operated. They have been in business for over 20 years.
Green spoke at the beginning of the event and lead the day off with a prayer. He noted that the wreath is made from the evergreen, which is everlasting. Green explained, “Evergreens are used to represent how God is eternal and that through His Son we can have everlasting life.”
