Perfect weather for a Christmas Parade ensured a big turnout this year! We, (children big and small), served free hot chocolate at the steps of the Franklin Presbyterian Church to parade watchers
. Over 170 people had their hearts and hands warmed.Larry ensured a steady supply of hot water with three gas burners.
Eli, Gwen, Genna, and Ada ensured a steady supply of cups with chocolate powder and marshmallows.
Woon Yen, Melanie and Pastor Katie filled and stirred the cups and served them, and chatted and laughed.
Wonderful sign by Brandon looking very Father Christmassy with his hat and beard.
... and the customers just came and enjoyed. Some generous souls even left a contribution which we will use to start a fund for the Youth to go to Montreat.
