Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "The Hanging of the greens, an annual event at Crown Heights Christain Church for the past 21 years, will be Sunday at 7 p.m. at the church, 4020 N Western. Participating in the service, sponsored by the church's department of Christian education, will be more than 125 young people, serving as candlebears, bearers of the greens, ushers, readers, singers, and as deacons and deaconesses during the offertory. Mrs. Z. R. Gill, director of Christian education, is in charge of the service. A live manager scene will feature Mrs. Richard Hardin and her 5-month-old son, Frand Edward Hardin, as Mary and Jesus. The angel in the scene, Diana Allen, a senior at Northwest Classen High School, was cast as the Christ Child 18 years ago. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer A. Allen jr. The program's musical section will be directed by Dubert Dennis, Crown Heights' director of music and organist. Three choirs will sing during the service. Mrs. Imogene Dugger, soprano soloist, will sing "The Virgin Slumber Song" by Reger during the tableau.
