Wrap Up of 2011 Holidays

Wow, what an eventful and fulfilling 2011 holiday season we had at Unity in West Linn.  Here is a list of all we accomplished together.  Thank you to all of you who supported and volunteered this past Christmas season.  We couldn’t have done it without you.

Holiday Gospel Concert

The first event in our new sanctuary was a huge success!  It was a “Soul-Filled Gospel Concert” with LaRhonda Steele and the Group. The sanctuary was packed and the concert blew us all away!

Deep Green Movie

The first movie screening in the new sanctuary was shown on an enormous screen.  As a continuation of our sustainability efforts, we invited the maker of Deep Green, Matt Briggs, to introduce his movie, which centered around solutions for climate change.

25 Cent Toys for Girls and Boys

We collected toys this past Christmas season to provide local West Linn families a bright Christmas.  We set up a store in our basement with toys for kids of all ages from baby to 18.  The brand new toys and gifts were sold to the families for 25 cents each.

The results? We served 20 families with a total of 80 kids!

Food From the Heart: Holiday Feast!

The homeless men at Transitions Project experienced a holiday feast fit for kings!  There were 3 hams, 4 cheesecakes, meat & cheeses, pickles, deviled eggs, desserts galore, and much more!  They also each received a gfit baggy that the YOUers prepared which included a pair of warm socks and candies.
