On December 25, a small committee of parishioners of St. Mary’s, Virden, led by Mike Bergman, hosted 65 people in the parish hall for the traditional Christmas Day dinner. Guests were treated to a full turkey and ham dinner with all the fixings, as well as pies for dessert. Nobody (including the Editor) left the parish hall hungry!

The heat was off in the church at St. John’s, Reston on Christmas Eve, so we had the service in the parish hall kitchen!
