For the first time in 21 years, Lipscomb kicked off the Christmas season with its annual Lighting of the Green inside Allen Area. Traditionally the show is held outside in Allen circle by the steps of the bell tower, however, due to weather, this year’s show was held indoors. Hosted by singer-songwriter Ellie Holcomb, this year’s show featured performances by Daves Highway, Christian music artist Matt Maher, singer-songwriter and author Sandra McCracken, Lipscomb middle and high school choir, Lipscomb University Gospel Choir and Sanctuary.
