St. Andrew's, Lindsay, Ont.

St. Andrew’s doesn’t deck their Christmas tree with the usual decorations; they use choir members instead. For over thirty years, the church has transformed its sanctuary into a fifteen – foot high living Christmas tree every December for its Christmas cantata. Through the years, choir members, ushers, sound and lighting technicians, safety team members, nursery staff and a prayer team have battled chicken pox, food poisoning, faulty wiring, mice and an apprehensive fire chief to bring the show to church and community. Talk about Christmas spirit!
