People, at the Bomaderry Community Centre, were able to sit around, have a nice meal and catch up with their friends.

It was a perfect way to start what will be a busy festive period for many people.

Over 250 people attended this most popular event.

There was much to see and do at the gathering.

The event featured music, entertainment and the children were able to get their face painted.

Volunteers from Salt Ministries mingled with their guests and made sure everyone had a good time.

Other volunteers worked tirelessly in the kitchen and prepared some delicious food.

People, if they wanted, took home a hamper of goodies to make their Christmas even more special.

Salt Ministries would like to wish everyone a great Christmas and safe and happy New Year.
