Sunday School children gathered for a Christmas Cookie Decorating session.

The air buzzed with excitement as little hands carefully shaped, iced and adorned cookies with colourful fondant and sprinkles, each creation a unique masterpiece of Christmas magic.

Giggles and concentration blended harmoniously as the children embraced the joy of the season, but the highlight for many was tasting their sugary works of art.

Adding a beautiful touch of giving to the occasion, many of the cookies were shared with patrons of the Parish’s weekly feeding program, ‘Feed the People.’
