Stars of Blue Nation: hOLLUday Decorating set for tomorrow

The OLLU Community is invited to help prepare for the Advent/Christmas season by decorating our university campus with trees, wreaths, and blue poinsettias. The shape of the poinsettia flower and its leaves symbolize the Star of Bethlehem, which led the Wise Men to Jesus.

The decorating will take place on Tuesday from 4-6:30 p.m. in the Moye Rotunda, Sacred Heart Chapel, and in the Mall Area. After the decorating, a brief prayer service will be held at 6:45 p.m.in the Mall Area by the Sister Jane Ann Lamppost, followed by a free Thanksgiving dinner from 7-8 p.m. in the Saints’ Café.

All volunteers are encouraged to sign up by end of today using the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/wZEKJL2Ht4
