Mission News: Congressman Yarmuth Greets Mission Residents

Congressman Yarmuth Greets Resident Clients

     In what has become an annual event, U.S. Representative John Yarmuth visited Wayside Christian Mission's Emergency Shelter on Jefferson Street with holiday greetings and a bag of hand-made Christmas cards!  Early Monday morning, a large crowd of homeless women, men, and children assembled in the shelter's main dining hall as The Down by the Wayside Choir, directed by the Mission's Virginia Taylor, entertained everyone with festive Christmas music.  Nina Moseley, Wayside Christian Mission's COO, introduced Congressman Yarmuth who, after addressing the crowd, passed through the aisles distributing the uniquely creative Christmas cards that came from the hands of local school children.  There was plenty of tempting food and with the speakers, the holiday music, and the special Christmas cards,  those attending were uplifted by the magic of the Christmas season!  We are grateful to Congressman Yarmuth for taking time from his busy schedule to visit with our resident clients!
