“The attendees enjoyed the food, singing carols, and the fellowship it offered,” she said.

She also shared a Christmas message with the community: “We wish everyone in our community a merry Christmas. May they all experience the hope, joy, peace, and love that Jesus offers. These are the greatest gifts that cannot be found under the tree.”

The event was supported by several sponsors who helped make the morning special.
