31st
Annual Free Christmas Dinner
Christmas
is the time of year for joy and happiness, but for those who are
lonely or less fortunate it can be a very sad time of year. This is
the reason that for the past 31 years the Lighthouse Christian Center
along with area business and community volunteers treat those persons
to a free Christmas Dinner.
The
dinner is free, it consists of ham, chicken, bar b que pork,
dressing, green beans, corn, escalloped potatoes, cole slaw, bread,
butter, milk, coffee and finished with Wicks pies for dessert.
In
addition to the meal, we have a treat, of candy, fruit, and gum…
especially for the children… we also have numerous door prizes for
the adults and gifts for the children. The past few years, we have
had bicycles as door prizes for the children.
Even
in the bad economy, the business and the more fortunate have been
very generous this year, and we expect to have lots of food, and
gifts.
We
expect to have lots more door prizes this year to make Christmas more
enjoyable for more people.
Reservations
for the dinner are requested, (just so we will know how much food to
prepare) but you can come with out them. Leave a message with the
age of your children so we can have the appropriate age gift.
If
you know of a shut-in that needs a meal, please call 937-548-7464 and
put their name on the list, please leave a message if no one answers,
someone will get back to you.
Spirit
Transport has volunteered to pick up everyone that needs a way to the
dinner. We are blessed to have Spirit helping in our community.
The
meal starts at 11:30 on Christmas Day..
Come
and have Fun and lots of fellowship
