APOLLO BEACH - Families in the Kings Lake subdivision, west of East Bay High School, played games and feasted on hot dogs, hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows last month, courtesy of the South Shore United Methodist Church.

Staff member Laura Hill planned the event to acquaint the community with the church.

Church member and corporate chef Jeff Cofer operated the grill. Teens played basketball, and younger children jumped in a bounce house. Local artist Cory Wright painted faces, including Madison Cofer's.

The church's office is at 435 Apollo Beach Blvd., and its worship services take place at 10:30 a.m. Sundays in the East Bay High School auditorium, 7710 Big Bend Road, Gibsonton.
