"Love was in the Air"...or at least the smells and sounds of food and fellowship held on Sunday February 16th as members and friends of First Christian Church of Mt Vernon gathered together for an amazing Valentine's dinner. Thanks to our in-house "Italian" chefs who made homemade spaghetti, salad, bread, and several ooey-gooey cakes for dessert.

Following dinner our Region's own Sara Compton and Terry Peterman hosted several games of Valentine's bingo and gave away lots of chocolate prizes. A big thanks to Pastor Charlie and everyone who attended generously donated more than $500 for the Jr. and Sr. High Youth ministry. And of course a very special thanks to our youth/families for helping to prepare, serve, and clean-up this youth fundraising event.

Thank you to Youth Pastor David Nordyke for sending this information and photos.
