Blog: December: A Season to Remember
|
December is a very personal month in so many ways for families. Each of us has some memory of a celebration, a loved one, a special recipe, or a tradition that matters. Our non-profit organization, though a business, is also a family. And our family looks back and remembers the wonderful things that happened during the year.

King of kings Lutheran Church (Shelby Township) hosted their 9
th Annual Chili Cook-off in November to benefit Macomb County Habitat for Humanity. This year the chili cook-off was enhanced with a pie auction that helped raise a record donation of more than $1,300 to Macomb Habitat, all coordinated by Sandy Sylvester. Besides great chili and pie, there was good music and fellowship. Check out this enthusiastic congregation led by Rev. Dave Parker, just north of 21 Mile Road on Schoenherr.
