Faith Community Church in Newhall will welcome hundreds of neighbors to the church campus on Saturday, Dec. 21, for its annual “Festividad for Christ” community celebration.

“Our church family always looks forward to hosting Festividad and sharing the joy of the season with our neighbors,” Senior Pastor Steve Jackson said. “This is our 19th annual event and we invite anyone in the neighborhood to join us for what promises to be a fun and exciting event.”

“Festividad” provides guests with a complimentary lunch, free gifts for children up to age 13, and a gift from the church to the whole family. Gently used clothing also will be given away to those in need. A petting zoo with goats, sheep, a pig, alpaca and other animals will offer children a chance to interact with animals.

The event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 21, at the church campus on Meadowridge Drive, just south of Newhall Avenue.

“Festividad” is organized and hosted by the church’s members, with more than 100 families purchasing gifts, donating clothing, and staffing and organizing the event.
