It’s that time of the year again as churches, synagogues, schools, businesses and others in the community spread holiday cheer and promote a giving spirit by putting up festive decorations, organizing community programs and donating their time and gifts to help others. In that spirit, Mary G. Gleaton, senior pastor at Faith Covenant Christian Fellowship Church, second from left, is joined by youths from the church in putting up decorations Nov. 27 outside the church at 1400 Spotsylvania St. in the East End.
