Parkview Baptist Church is sponsoring a program "Seniors Believe in Santa Too" to make Christmas brighter for some of our local seniors.

A tree will be set up at Pepperbelly's restaurant that will display ornaments with a "wish list" of each senior written on it. We encourage the community to choose one of the ornaments from the tree, and return the wrapped gift/gift bag along with the identifying ornament to Pepperbelly's by December 18th. The gifts will be distributed the week of Christmas along with a stocking of goodies provided by Parkview Baptist Church.
