St. John’s Ministries and St. John the Evangelist Church will host the 16th Annual Greater Green Bay Homeless Persons’ Interfaith Memorial Service on Thursday, December 18.

Free Christmas Dinner
For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmastime when they think of their loved ones who have passed away or who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Holiday dinners may be only a wish but not a reality for many. Christmas can also be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength.
Experience the warmth of the season from the comfort of your home with Four Winds Ministries' free Christmas Dinner delivery or pick-up service, extending a helping hand to families in need, ensuring everyone can enjoy a festive meal together.
