On the first Saturday evening in December Deer Park joins the local community in welcoming the Christmas season. Enjoy the lights on Bardstown Road and stop by the church for some hot drinks, sweet treats, and many of your favorite Christmas songs.
Hanging of the Green
Hanging of the Green is when the congregation adorns the church with Advent and Christmas decorations. This is the start of the Advent season, in preparation for Christmastide. The service involves the placement of evergreen vegetation in the church. The evergreen tree is decorated with Chrismons which carry the religious symbolism of everlasting life,
