Faith, Fellowship, and Festive Cheer: A Christmas Celebration with the Sisters in Baltic

The Office of Faith Events brightened the season by making their annual Christmas visit to the Sisters in Baltic. The day was filled with festive joy and the warmth of community as they shared in a timeless tradition of a Christmas Carol sing. Between songs, a special touch was added with Christmas sharing questions, sparking heartfelt memories and laughter. A favorite question, “What was your favorite Christmas gift as a child?” brought delightful responses from the Sisters, including cherished memories of a cowgirl outfit, a Chatty Cathy doll, and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls.

Adding to the celebration was a lively round of Christmas trivia, where the Sisters tested their knowledge of yuletide history and fun facts. Creativity flourished during a delightful Christmas craft session, fostering both fun and fellowship. To top it all off, a selection of wonderful holiday goodies was shared, making the visit a heartwarming and memorable experience that truly captured the essence of Christmas.
