On December 22nd, Oyen United Church offered a Christmas Meal to the community. Primarily for those who were feeling alone, or lonely or overwhelmed by the Christmas season, this free meal was available to anyone who came.
Christmas Carols played throughout the meal, a crackling fire on the TV lent a bit of atmosphere and we were so honoured to have folk accept our invitation... almost all of our tables were filled.
We are so proud of the folk at Oyen United Church who offered hospitality yesterday. Preparing a full Christmas Dinner and decorating our basement -- it looked grand!
We are humbled that so many took us up on this invitation to come and share a meal and company with us.
This became a community partnership with the aid and support of FCSS and the Food Bank who helped us connect with folk and the Rod and Gun Club who paid for much of the food.
The blessings continue...
