Christmas Open House Fundraiser

St. Vincent De Paul and the Salvation Army routinely accept donated funds to have readily available for needy individuals and families who struggle with winter heating and utility bills. Last year, while the needs grew, the funds ran out... even before the heating season came to a close. This year, due to hard economic times and high unemployment rates in this area, the need is expected to be even greater than last year. The Mission Committee at Christ United Methodist Church in Merrill has decided to honor this need. Friday, Dec, 10 at 6:30 p.m., the church will be hosting a Christmas Open House Fundraiser. The evening will include soloists and musical selections by local musicians on piano, organ, flute, violin, guitar, and even a chance to join together singing Christmas Carols. The evening will conclude with holiday treats and refreshments.
