CHRISTMAS FUN 08'

I pray that as you browse through these photos you can feel the love and joy that was present this night. The air was filled with the sounds of laughter and so much love. Due to circumstances that were happening at this time alot of people in the group were hurting but for this night all was forgotten and the pure joy of Christmas and real Christian love made this evening one of the highlights of the year. ENJOY!!

Trees, gifts, smiles and laughter!

Our Christmas gatherings just get better and better every year. We have never had a more beautiful location. This year we were at the home of Edith Moser in Bristol Virginia. We thank her so much for her hospitality and for the time and effort she put into decorations. It was just a wonderful evening that we all needed and God did not disappoint.
