Celebrating our 40th year of offering folks a chance to gather and spread the spirit of the season with our friends and neighbors is truly ‘what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown’.

With special thanks to Pastor Amy Yarnall, and the good folks of Christ First United Methodist Church for hosting us, Lapp Family Bakery for donating pies, bread, and desserts, Jeff Carrol and his team at the FishWhistle at the Granary, for preparing over a dozen turkeys, Bill Drazga from MusicLife, for filling the fellowship hall with song, and to the nearly 30 volunteers who took time from their own families to cook, serve, sing and share with our community. Over 60 people came to the meal, and as many to-go plates went out to those who were at home, ensuring that all those who came to the Feast were never left wanting, for food or festive cheer.

Though my mom is no longer with us in body, (passing away just days before), she was certainly there in the spirit of joy and wonder that sharing this moment brings each year, it is our honor and privilege to keep this holiday tradition alive and share it with all of you.
With hopes of a better year to come and thanks for all,
Bill Arrowood
