Once again, the members of Christ The King Parish worked together to put on another successful Summer Social last weekend. Upon first glance, our social may seem a bit small when compared to those held by other parishes around town, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for with heart. The caring and hard work of many individuals could be felt in the atmosphere from the delicious home cooked meals served each night to the tables decorated with beautiful hydrangeas straight from the garden. Many volunteers helped out both behind the scenes with all of the preparation and at the social both evenings.
There were things offered for everyone to enjoy. Besides a variety of desserts, there were snow cones being made to order. Large inflatable activities filled the gym, from a large obstacle course and bounce house, to a bull to be ridden if you could hang on. There were also games to play with candy prizes and face painting by official clowns. Besides the raffles for cash prizes and the beautiful handsewn quilts made by the quilting group in our parish, there were many other items to bid on in our silent auction. There was also a large variety of baskets to buy chances for with themes ranging from “Death by Chocolate” to “Tiger Tailgate” and many in between.'
Whether you went for good food and fellowship or just to run and play, I think all who attended will agree it was a good time. So thank you to all of the people who gave of their time and talent to make our Summer Social a success. For those who gave donations, those who cooked, those who worked each night, and especially those who spent countless hours planning and organizing the event, we at Christ The King appreciate all that you have done!
