Though the temperatures dipped below freezing, the program went on as planned. Reverend Dianne Everitt said, “This is our gift to the community; it is completely free. We just want to welcome people to come. Wherever they are on the religious spectrum, just be assured that God came into the world to bring God’s love into a broken world … to bring hope and love against all odds.”

Everitt expressed gratitude and appreciation for “the really inspiring members of the congregation” who work long and tirelessly to make this event a success each year.
