What
a Christmas is was at The Children's
Home! In celebrating the birth of the
Messiah, the youngsters learned how much
people care for them. There were parties
and gifts and special meals and worship
services and a tremendous outpouring
of love from the community. On Christmas
Day, Siracusa Moving and Storage once
again sponsored a gourmet catered meal
and presents for all children.
To everyone, on behalf of the children,
thank you! |
