Trailhead Youth Group Carolers Visit Silver Springs Kelley Gobbs, Trailhead Church Over 40 Junior High and Highschool students and leaders from Trailhead Church’s Youth Group visited Silver Springs Assisted Living here in Townsend last week. The group shared good tidings of great joy with all the residents at the home. Led by Peggy Flynn, the students sang 5 songs and read the Christmas Story of Jesus Christ being born. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the program, singing along and tapping their feet to the familiar Christmas carols. When the program was over, Silver Springs shared yummy treats with the students and the Youth Group gave presents to all the residents. Peggy Flynn regularly visits Silver Springs and is acquainted with all the residents. She introduced them to the students and shared some fun memories with everyone. “It’s wonderful to see the mix of generations here, united by the true meaning of Christmas. They can both learn so much from each other,” Peggy said. After the caroling, the youth group celebrated Christmas with pizza and fun games.
This event is an annual tradition, dating back over 6 years. Trailhead Youth Group has been caroling to the senior citizens of Broadwater County for quite some time every Christmas season. During COVID the past 2 years, the students visited the nursing home and assisted living homes in the Townsend area and sang outside, through the windows.
Trailhead Church is a non-denominational church made up of people who have a desire to understand the point of the Bible – the gospel of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God – and how it affects every aspect of our lives. The Youth Group meets every Wednesday night for 7th through 12th graders. For more information and event details, visit our website at https://www.trailheadchristianchurch.com
