Hey all,
They say it’s the most wonderful time of year... I say it’s still Advent.
Which is a perfect time for our annual Christmas Party!
Last year’s Christmas Party
But will there be any Nerf Guns? Find out on December 19th, 5:30 PM at the Priestley’s Christmas Wünderland. Please dress warmly, as we will all be outdoors on a winter night! There will be a fire and a few heaters.
Dress code for the occasion is also festive! Santa hats, ugly Christmas sweaters, colorful mittens, you know.
Address: 4133 Lassiter Rd. Wake Forest NC 27587
We will have a white elephant gift exchange! To participate, simply bring a wrapped gift worth less than $15. Doesn’t matter whether it’s practical or creative or silly.
Please bring a mask so that you can go inside to use the restroom if necessary. Even though we are outdoors, be respectful of others and maintain social distance.
Saint Raphael’s has started an Advent facebook group to help prepare us for Christmas!
If you want to lend a hand with the page (responding to posts, admitting people, potentially helping out with their digital ministries) please contact Janet: jschirripa@saintraphael.org
