Healesville Uniting Church held its annual Christmas Day Feast for the Community on 25 December 2019.
Over 60 people from our local community (and some visitors from further away) sat down together for a meal, conversation, laughter and friendship. All ages of people were there with representatives from at least 3 generations. it was beautiful to share the time with each other.
Healesville businesses and groups donated the food.
The main meal was cooked in our industry standard kitchen by a qualified and well experienced chef.
Guests arrived promptly for the meal start and the chef welcomed everyone when the meal was ready to be served. He explained that there were Vegan and Gluten Free options for the meal. The main course was beef, turkey and pork with plenty of vegetables, potato, gravy and rolls.
Dessert was a serving of delicious Christmas Pudding that had been made by a congregation member, who has a good reputation for her expertise for that type of food! There was ice cream, strawberries and custard for dessert.
Coffee, tea and mince pies were available throughout the whole meal time. And at the end of of the meal, there were take-home packs of meat, rolls and mince pies that the guests could have.
Thank to to ALL of the wonderful people who

- prepared and cooked the meal;
- set up the area for us;

- shared their time with us to enjoy food and companionship
