| Come to the table.... |
This holiday season what we need is true peace as we reflect on the state of the world we live in. We brought to the table our favorite home-cooked Christmas dishes, enjoyed a simple dinner and reflected on God's gift of peace and joy in the midst of turmoils & tragedies. The recipient of our annual charitable giving is The Grace Place School, Inc., a start-up faith-based school in Pamplona Beach, Florida, for children resqued from sex-trafficking - www.graceplaceschool.org
May the Prince of Peace who lives in us grant us His unspeakable joy, this season and the year after.
