During this past holiday season, First Christian Church in Maryville was busy with their Christmas Adopt-a-Family program. Though it was only their first year, they “adopted” 15 families! The program was quite a success, and the congregation plans to continue it next Christmas.

Each of the families was presented with a gift for each of the children, a small gift for the mother, and a $50 gift voucher to the local grocery store.

Both givers and receivers seem to have had a wonderful time, and hopefully a very Merry Christmas.

Thank you to FCC’s Virginia Ripple for this information and photos.
