Ward Members Celebrate Christmas Together



















There was "Joy to the Ward" in the not-so "Silent Night" as members of the Bloomington 7th Ward from near or "Far, Far Away . . ." accepted the invitation to ". . . Come All Ye Faithful" to the annual ward Christmas party. It was "With Wondering Awe" ward members enjoyed the beautifully decorated hall and a delicious Hawaiian Christmas dinner prepared by Ellen and Jim Sorensen, assisted by the Activities Committee, with Barbara and Doug Schaerrer as chair, Allen and Sherry Scott, Jerry and Lorraine Erskine, Jim and Debbie Harrison. The program included prelude and dinner music performed on two cellos by Colyn Pereira and Toshi Becker. Alyia Cazier shared her exceptional young vocal talent singing "Where Are You, Christmas" and "Silent Night" while Primary children anxiously awaited hearing "Here Comes Santa Claus."

Thanks to all who made this wonderful evening a great kickoff to the holiday season. "I was so impressed by the committee who truly 'magnified their calling'," said Barbara Schaerrer. "Many were there the entire day - and stayed in the kitchen for the whole evening - and they are fun to work alongside!"
