You will experience the sights and sounds of Christmas as you enter our driveway and our carolers greet you at the front door. As you enter our sanctuary you'll see our beautiful Christmas tree and be amazed by all the whilte lights and greens. Plus be sure to take a few minutes to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and our wonderful homemade cookies. Table and seating areas will be available so sit down, relax and enjoy. This year the Holly Trail will be held on December 7th from noon to 4 pm.
