Christmas In July
The Fellowship Committee of Central in Augusta planned
a wonderful evening of dining and entertainment on July 25th. We
celebrated Christmas in July with a traditional type of holiday dinner
featuring pork and dressing, green beans, yams, salad, bread, and a
variety of cakes (caramel, red velvet, and yellow with chocolate
frosting). The Fellowship Hall as well as many of the attendees were
suitably decorated/clad in traditional holiday styles. We celebrated not
just with fun and frivolity, but acknowledged that any time is a good
time to Praise God for the Perfect Gift--His Son--Jesus! We blended the
traditional religious and the secular aspects of Christmas. The
decorations included a tree, tables with suitable colors and themes,
seasonal carols (religious and secular) were sung, gifts were given to
each child by a special guest--one taking a break from his duties at the
North Pole-- Santa--alias Sam Willard. Gifts of seashell
ornaments--honoring both the summer and Christmas were given to each
attendee. Many attendees also won door prizes. Many of the attendees
wore Christmas colors and/or clothing (such as sweater vests/ties and
the like). Everyone enjoyed this non-traditional celebration during the
heat of the summer.

Blessed to know them and Walk our Christian Walk at least in part with
