Day for our 2nd Annual Christmas Dinner. Not only did we have far more than enough to feed our church members who came, but also two homeless men who were walking by and saw that our light was on. After clean up, Christina, Annabelle and I drove to St. Mary's Homeless Shelter and fed 14 other men who came to the back of our car to get a meal as well. So, another thank you, to all of you who brought food to share with us in our Christmas Meal at the church, you also helped feed another 14 people! For those who have not heard, we will be welcoming Rev. Arthur Severance into our church to become our Interim Minister. His first service here will be February 8, and we hope to see every one of our church members here on that Sunday to welcome Rev. Severance. Bright Blessings, Ben Cervantes Board President
