Hall Church to hold Annual Olde Christmas

Hall Church at the Camp Nelson Civil War Heritage Park on Hall Road will celebrate its Annual Olde Christmas on Dec. 4 from 3-5 p.m. The church was built in the late 1800s by African American Union soldiers. Several generations of those families have worshiped at the church and lived nearby after the war on property purchased from John Fee, who founded Ariel College, and later Berea College. The old church had recently been restored by the Jessamine County Fiscal Court and is available to the public for weddings, receptions, reunions, and other gatherings. The Special Events Committee, through the Paul Sawyier Outdoor Drama, raised money to fund the new heating and air-conditioning system, and will help fund other future improvements. An outdoor pavalion is planned by the county to honor the Overstreet family. Civil War soldier W.S. Overstreet became the spiritual leader of the Hall Community after the resignation of Gabriel Burdette. Overstreet was a pastor of the church, and was buried with soldier's honors in the Hall Cemetery.

The church will be decorated with fresh cedar, pine and pine cones, natural berries, red bows, and candles in the windows. The ringing of the old church bell will beckon all to the celebration of Christ's birth. Hot Wassail and fresh-baked sweets will be served in the foyer during the event.

The Calvary Messengers, the Brown Sisters of Versailles, Barbara Smith, and the Gospel Word Missionary Church Praise Team will perform Christmas music, with organ music by Samantha Cline.
