Christmas Caroling

We are very excited to share some hope and holiday cheer this TUESDAY  night, Dec. 7th, at the Bannister House. We will be meeting at the church at 6:15 and carpooling down together. We will carol along with provide some holiday treats and hot chocolate for carolers and residents. These families are under a lot of stress because of their difficult circumstances so we want to be able to lift their spirits and show them some love. Nursery will be provided. If you have young children who want to draw pictures or make holiday cards we would be happy to pass them out.

"Bannister Family House provides a home away from home for families of patients undergoing long-term care at UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest. The non-medical atmosphere of the house provides a retreat from the stress of keeping a constant bedside vigil at the hospital. Families have a chance to meet other families in similar situations and develop a support network necessary to sustain a loved one through serious illness."
