For the sixth year, Mountain Vineyard Christian Fellowship hosted an outdoor Christmas party – this time in three inches of snow – at Green River Gorge Resort, an RV/trailer campground near Black Diamond.

The site is home to about 55 men, 25 women and 15 children, many living “in extremely run-down, poor conditions,” said Karen Evans, a spokeswoman for the Covington-area church.

Evans said church members provided a hot lunch and gifts for the campground residents last weekend “to demonstrate God’s love in a practical way” and to “give to those who can’t give back to us.”

The festivities were staged in a large tent erected by church volunteers.
