THE SUGAR HIGHS WERE PALPABLE as dozens of teenage girls decorated 64
gingerbread houses at New Hope Community Church in Hermiston on Friday night.
The houses were baked by Shawn Lockwood, after youth pastor Tim Beal asked
her to expand what has always been a family Christmas tradition in the Lockwood
home. The event was open to high school and middle school girls from the church’s
youth group, plus friends they had invited.
Each girl was given a house on a sturdy base, a tube of frosting and a plate to fi ll
up with colorful piles of candy from a selection of sweets that spanned several tables.
