Getting ready for the parade 2021-12-04 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold. By Veronica Arnold The float our church worked on as a community is heading off for the parade grounds for finishing touches. What joy the parade preparations was to my family as kids can see it getting built and they knew the parade was drawing closer. And if the parade was close, so was Christmas!! This is the first year our church is participating in the parade with a float. We are excited to connect with the community and share the true joy of Christmas! The birth of Jesus! We welcome everyone to Berean Community Fellowship just off the square for hot chocolate after the parade! :)-- Merry Christmas! Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
