Spreading Christmas Cheer!

A number of organizations have collaborated this year in order to make Christmas a little merrier for those less fortunate in our neighbourhood. On Saturday, December 19th, a full Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings will be served at our church. Guests will be invited by Social Services who initiated the event. We just happen to have a facility that was large enough to accommodate everyone. Knights of Columbus will be covering the cost of food. Others involved are the Mountain View Lion’s Club and St. Vincent de Paul.

Dinner will be served at 5 pm followed by crafts, entertainment, and a sing along of Christmas music.

Volunteer positions are still available. If you can help, please contact Shirley Smith. Volunteers will have a free dinner. But the best pay will be the all the smiling faces that you help to create!!
