SNOW ICE CREAM

Letter: Thanks Great Oaks for outreach

Enjoyed Great Oaks Christmas BanquetEverett and I were blessed to attend the Great Oaks Christmas Banquet and play. The table was beautiful and the food was delicous. Everyone did such a great job with their parts. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work, and mostly the true meaning of Christmas.

It was so heartwarming to see people enjoying not only the food and program, but truly enjoying coming together in Christian fellowshop. We got seats with some of my old classmates and friends from long ago. What a treat! Thanks Great Oaks for your outreach, and may God bless all of you with at very Merry Christmas.s/Alice Wheeler
