Each December, Welborne partners with Asbury UMC and area prison ministries to provide a Christmas party for children of incarcerated parents.  We bake goodies, purchase presents, and share the story of Jesus’ birth with children and their caregivers on a Saturday in December.

Our 2015 party was held Saturday, December 12, from 11 until 1 at Asbury UMC.  Images below share the story.
