Christmas Community Meal

The Christmas Day meal was a big success. With the help of many, we served over 65 meals. Many helped set up, clean up, serve people, and provided food. People stayed after eating to enjoy the day's fellowship and joy. The Care Team wants to THANK all the Church family that helped. Mark your calendars as we are already working on next year’s meal.
