This month we invited you to show off your Christmas Decoration style in the 2018 Virginia Synod Christmas Decoration Contest! With plenty of fantastic submissions, we’re taking a moment to share our three category winners from congregations and families of the Virginia Synod.
Thank you to all who entered! It has been so much fun to see and share the decorations that fill your homes and congregations.
