The ACW and Health Ministry enjoyed planning and presenting this luncheon, and sharing their collections of unique and favourite Santa Claus and Snowmen decorations.
The empty chairs you see in the photo were filled with more than 40 people from our congregation on 05 December, which was a lovely winter day.
The soups were a hit, and few Christmas sweets were left for the elves. There was no fee for the meal, but many donations and items in gift bags were collected for Grace House women’s shelter.
Deacon Debbie Edmondson offered a thoughtful and timely reflection as to the hope and anticipated joy of the Advent season. Catherine Macdonald provided a lovely piano medley of Christmas favourites during the lunch period.
To bring so many together to enjoy fellowship – and food, was a blessing and reward for the hosts of the day.
