gather, sing seasonal songs, tell stories or recite poems. This is a
wonderful opportunity for the whole family to get in the mood for
the holidays. Hot drinks will be provided and guests are encouraged
to bring holiday treats or cookies to share. Themed
baskets will be auctioned off to the highest bidder to be used as
Christmas gifts. Non parishable foods will be collected for the Food
Bank. If you are
