GEORGETOWN, Del. - Members of Elohim Community Development at Jesus is Lord Church Church of Deliverance have been collecting presents for families and children throughout the holiday season. The Bless Our Children recipients distributed the presents and more Christmas morning.
Bags of goodies, canned goods, presents and cake filled Fellowship Hall at the church on Ingramtown Road on Wednesday. Local families came to receive the food and presents while participating in the church's Christmas Day celebration.
"It gives us a time to be able to reach out to the community for those that we don't even know," says Apostle Bonnie Bigelow, Pastor at Jesus is Lord. "To be able to come here, hear the word of God, have some fellowship, and also for their children to have some gifts for Christmas."
Presents could be seen under a tree on state. Those in attendance could enjoy food and refreshments while Christmas carols and dances or worship were performed.
