Manna House of Prayer to host “Christmas with Grandma”

Manna House of Prayer will host its first “Christmas with Grandma” from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1.

Sisters Mary Jo Thummel, Jean Ann Walton and Missy Ljungdahl will host grandmas, grandchildren — and aunts or moms are fine too! — and all the kids for a Saturday morning and lunch filled with fun, crafts and activities.

“We’re making a time for grandchildren, parents and children to spend some together time,” said Sister Mary Jo. “We’ll have fun, but also think about the real meaning of Christmas.”

Activities will include making ornaments and crafting, reading and spending quality time with their loved ones.

“Our Christmas gift is ourselves!” Sister Jean Ann said.

Sister Jean Ann said that participants will hopefully go home with a little something to decorate their tree, as well as new traditions for Christmas.

The cost is $50 for each “grandma” and children are free. The cost includes lunch as well as all materials.
