- “A Holy Family Christmas” is a free community event aimed at introducing and reinforcing the true meaning of Christmas, especially for children. We are encouraging parents to accompany their children for a true family outing. Doors open at 1 pm for a variety of children’s activities, including making ornaments, Christmas Bingo, coloring tables, and a story corner. Refreshments will be offered within COVID safety restrictions. A narrated Living Nativity will begin at 2:30 pm; at that time all other activities will shut down to focus on the drama. Participants are welcome to bring nonperishable foods for local food pantries. If you would have interest in helping with this community wide event please sign up at the Welcome Center.
Ladies Sewing will be cancelled this Wednesday, November 24 giving us more time to prepare the feast of the harvest as we celebrate Thanksgiving.
