Spirit

North End.

Community Christmas Party, Thursday, December 20th
Thursday, December 20th we are
hosting our annual Christmas party for our community in
the North End. The party gives us the opportunity to share
the love of Christ to the families in our community by providing
a festive program, a free meal and, if possible, gifts to
every child under twelve. We expect to serve a meal to 500
people and give gifts to 200 children. So you can imagine
the amount of supplies required to make the night successful.
