The 7th annual Teddy Bear Tea, hosted by the Billy Graham Library, was held Saturday, Dec. 6, at the BGEA headquarters. The sold-out event drew more than 200 children, many of them returning guests.
The Christmas season is an exciting time of year—and a good chance to spend time with friends.
A skit based on Ruth Bell Graham's book "One Wintry Night" about a boy who's injured in a snowstorm and hears the Christmas story for the first time when he takes refuge in a cabin.
Each child received a stuffed cat as a take-home gift. Billy Graham's wife, Ruth Bell Graham, who wrote the book that Saturday's program was based on, always loved cats.
