Christmas Finery


This weekend, Independent Presbyterian Church will be decked in her best Christmas finery to welcome you to our 67th Holiday House Tour. The church sanctuary, chapel and parlor will be decorated with exquisite greenery and flowers designed and executed by church members. A delicious holiday tea will be served upstairs in the Great Hall.

This year's homes are the Hillegas residence on Clairmont Avenue, the Spotswood and Vogtle homes on Abingdon Road, and Jim Carter's residence on Montrose Road. Tickets may be purchased at the church, online and at each home. All proceeds go towards IPC missions such as the STAIR tutoring program, Open Door Ministry and the Summer Learning Program at the Children's Fresh Air Farm.

A Treasured Gift



This exquisite silver candelabra was a gift from Temple Emanu-el when Independent Presbyterian Church moved into the present Sanctuary in 1922, after spending 7 years holding services at the Temple. Every year at the annual Holiday House Tour, the candelabra holds a very special place in the Parlor. This year marks the 67th year for the tour. All proceeds go directly to benefit of IPC missions such as the STAIR, Open Door and Children's Fresh Air Farm. Be sure to stop by the church to see the decorations in the Sanctuary, Parlor and Chapel and enjoy refreshments in the Great Hall.

This is one of two magnificent silver candelabrum given to IPC by the Temple when the church moved to its permanent home at 3100 Highland Avenue in 1926.
