THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFTS

The 11th annual Spirit of Christmas blessed people far and wide with an amazing generosity of gifts! Happy people filled our streets, our homes, and our fellowship hall and Meeting House to enjoy the season, to listen to beautiful music, and to support the homeless.

Many thanks go to our hard-working chairs of the event: Carol Mayhew, Ellie Gerhart, and Nanette Nichol. Many thanks also to the chairs of the individual activities: crafts, books, soup & bread, Look What $20 Will Buy, refreshments, publicity, signs, volunteers, programs, and more. Many thanks to our talented musicians. Many thanks to those who opened up their homes. Many thanks to you who contributed items for sale, baked bread, made soup, baked cookies, and served as clerks and hosts. You have spread the good news of Christ's accepting love and contributed to the sum of over $10,000 that is being sent to Friendship House ministries for older men and for women and children who are now given a home.

We are also grateful for the tireless efforts of New Castle City employees and officials and to the leadership and members of the New Castle Visitor's Bureau. This is a job well done! Look what can happen when we share our varied gifts and God transforms them into good news!
