PvilleYI Christmas Dinner 2025
On December 10th, 2025, PvilleYI hosted our annual Very Merry Chick-Fil-A Christmas Dinner. Over 90 middle and high school students attended!
Upon arrival, teens were welcomed and seated. During the dinner, they are invited to sit and enjoy each other’s company while our volunteers show them hospitality.
Tables were decorated with a gingerbread house theme. These small touches are important to us, because they show teens that they matter enough to us that we make the effort to make them feel loved at our tables!
As the Christmas music played, teens spent time talking and laughing with one another while sipping Christmas punch. After a prayer, volunteers began to serve teens their delicious Chick-Fil-A catered meal. Plates were piled high with the iconic Chick-Fil-A nuggets, Mac and Cheese, and mixed fruit.
As they finished, volunteers bussed tables and began passing out glasses for a Christmas toast. Teens were instructed to wait until the toast was said to enjoy their glasses of sparkling grape juice. Jennie gave a Christmas blessing, everyone yelled, “CHEERS!”, and enjoyed sweet sips! This was followed by a Christmas Tree Cake for dessert!
Following dessert, volunteers passed out a cute gingerbread house gift box to each teen. They all waited patiently, and when Mike said, “GO!”, they opened their gifts. The room was filled with giggles, right out laughter, joy, and excitement as teens pulled out the small novelty items from their boxes, which included festive Christmas hats, silly glasses, candy, and other small trendy items from their boxes.
We ended the evening by telling the group how much we cared for them, and wished them the best Christmas they have ever had.
We want to give a huge thank you to all who have given toward our yearly budget to help make events like this happen! We also want to thank St. Paul’s United Methodist Church for allowing us to use their wonderful Family Life Center for this event!
As always, a HUGE thank you goes to our volunteers and board members who give their time to serve in such impactful ways.
PvilleYI Christmas Dinner
In December 2024 PvilleYI hosted a Christmas Dinner Party for middle school and high school students. Over 80 teens attended the event! We served a Chick-Fil-A meal to each teen, coming to serve them directly at their tables. Dessert and drinks were also served by PvilleYI volunteers. We also passed out a gift to every teen, full of all kinds of fun and trendy items to celebrate them!
A huge thank you goes to our friends at Pleasantville’s St. Paul United Methodist Church for allowing us to use their Family Life Center to host the event.
Chick-fil-a christmas dinner 2024
What a FUN NIGHT! We had so much fun serving these teens tonight! Chick-fil-a, Christmas Tree Cakes, Sparkling Cider, and PRESENTS! A room filled with JOY. Teens were welcomed into a room decorated with lovely tables and candle-lit dinner. They remained seated as our volunteers served them their meals, drinks, and desserts. Then we passed out gifts for everyone! Each box contained fun novelty items for the teens to enjoy together. One item that was included was a retro WWJD bracelet (what would Jesus do).
Our goal for this event was to allow the teens to be served by us with no expectations from them whatsoever. We spent time talking with teens at each table and were able to encourage them. There was a lot of laughing, and a lot of fun!
Thanks to Marcy Pettyjohn for donating all the little paper ”crackers”, and to St. Paul’s UMC for the use of your Family Life Center!
The PvilleYI Very Merry Chick-Fil-A Christmas Dinner
On December 20th, 2022, PvilleYI hosted the Very Merry Chick-Fil-A Christmas Dinner! Middle and High School students were invited to attend. The event was held at Fairview Christian Church and catered by Chick-Fil-A. Teens were welcomed with festive tables and a small stocking filled with candy and fun items. Marcy Pettyjohn sewed each little stocking and donated them. The teens loved them!
It was a very fun night and everyone left with full tummies and a lot of great memories.
