Food Facts Friends Christmas Lunch - 21 December


Serving tables with the Christmas meal
Food Facts Friends Christmas lunch on Friday 21st welcomed over 60 visitors to St. Mungo’s church hall. Town Crier ‘Mose’ opened the event and our traditional Christmas meal was introduced by the Rev John Urquhart saying the grace. We  started with soup, followed by roast chicken and all the trimmings.

The Salvation Army band played Christmas carols throughout our meal which was followed by a thank you from  charity patron Michelle Ballantyne MSP. She thanked supporters Tesco, Asda, JB foods, Forth Demolition, the team of volunteers who prepared, cooked and served the meal, and Mark Wells who organised the event. 

Before our dessert Rev John told us the true meaning of Christmas using a video carol as Christmas pudding arrived.

A visit by Santa Claus, handing out gifts to all the children and adults was followed by  a free raffle where four lucky winners collected large Christmas hampers donated by JB Foods.

Thanks to all who made this Christmas lunch possible. Those who donated food, gifts or financially, and those who volunteered their time and talents.

Food Facts Friends, making Christmas, celebrating the birth of baby Jesus, special for everyone in our community.

We are all God’s children.
