Betty Cox, founder of Change of Mind Ministry, sits in the foreground between Grinch (at left) and Gingerbread Man during the December 17 Christmas in Candyland party. Special guests for the 14th annual holiday event, Santa and Mrs. Claus, are in background. A crowd estimated at “around 250” children and adults enjoyed an early dinner of pizza, hot dogs and chicken salad, along with (of course) candy and more holiday sweet treats, at Grace Fellowship Church. Also, hundreds of toys, as well as 44 bicycles, were given away during the event.
