Vavenby Christian Church held a New Year’s Eve party at the church on Dec. 31. Approximately 38 people attended. Some of the children came dressed in their pyjamas. The party began at 5:45 with a delicious potluck dinner. There was a wide selection of foods to choose from.
After dinner the adults played board games and some put a puzzle together. Some of the children joined in these games, some watched a video, and a some attempted table tennis in the hallway.
An excellent movie called The Ultimate Gift – it was both serious and humorous – followed the games. It was over just in time for the countdown to the new year and then the singing of Auld Lang Syne. Everyone had a great time.
