DECEMBER 3, 2021 - The 2021 Barnabas Christmas Social was held on Friday, Dec. 3 at the MAC.  Gayle Jerden and a host of helpers outdid themselves in putting on a great time of fellowship, entertainment, and of course good food.  This was the first social since Christmas 2019.  It was good to be together.

December 6, 2019 - The 2019 Barnabas Christmas Social was held on Friday, Dec. 6 at the MAC. A record attendance of 155 filled the MAC with festive attire, the sounds of laughter and conversation, the smells of good food, and the Joy of the Season. The entertainer of the evening was our own Mark Hill leading the Christmas cheer with his usual energy and a special "guest". As expected, Mark got the audience involved to the delight of all. Door prizes and a photo spot by the tree rounded out the evening of fellowship and frivolity. Hats off to our Food Service Director and his crew for a great meal.
