Mary, the fabulous voice of the Blues Factory, hosted a stunning party for the kids and friends of the Mercy Center.  Fred and Dianne Doell, the directors of the Mercy Center, and pastors of the Victory International Family Church, had a chance to relax and enjoy the children feasting, playing and devouring all the goodies that Mary and friends brought to the Media Caf?’s Christmas celebration. All the children came ready for Christmas, sporting their red Mercy Center shirts. 

One of the evening’s highlights was Mary and her compadres singing family songs and Christmas carols, to everyone’s delight.  The partygoers bedecked themselves in Santa Claus hats, and somehow, a tremendous assortment of toys and gifts appeared to keep the kids busy. Mary’s son Brandon got to play with his friends, and share the bounty of presents heaped high upon the tables.  There were no hungry kids or adults left by the end of the party, thanks to the plentiful food from Mary and the Media Caf?, and all the children returned home with bountiful bags of toys and trinkets to continue their Christmas holiday.
