Ladies Christmas Tea
Each year our church hosts a Ladies Christmas Tea, and we are encouraged to invite others from the community. Women from our church host a table, decorate a table, or host and decorate a table. It is a beautiful, fun event. The food is great, but the fellowship is even greater. This year, while we ate, a jazz band played in the background. Our time ended with a hope-filled testimony and a few Christmas Carols. Here are just some of the tables.
