Our evening began with all of us singing the Christmas carol “Joy To The World”. Rev. Deborah Jackson, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Needham, gave the Invocation and offered the blessing for the dinner. After dinner a new member, Mark Drauschke of First Baptist Church of Medford, was presented to the membership by his Dad, Fred. He was accepted gladly into the Boston Baptist Social Union by membership. We were thoroughly entertained by the music of the Highland Glee Club. The program was concluded with the benediction of Rev. Brian Dixon, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Medford.
