It was a wonderful gathering today with the Fellowship Hall filled with ladies (and a few men), enjoying fellowship and a wonderful musical program.

Today's hostesses were Marcia Prather and Bonita Ziegler.  They prepared a delightful table setting and refreshments for the group.  Marcia also gave the devotional, a reading of several poems.

The program was led by Trudy Freeman.  The group was led in the singing of several familiar Christmas carols along with a bit of history of the music.  Clay Freeman, Hazel Smith and Julie Ludington provided the accompaniment A quartet comprised of Belinda Alkula, Clay & Trudy Freeman, and Connie Rakiecki sang several selections which really put everyone in the mood.  Clay Freeman rounded out the afternoon with a moving solo selection.
