SMELTERVILLE — The Silver Valley Worship Center will be hosting their annual community Christmas dinner this Tuesday and if the theme is any indication, things are going to get really Who-ish.

SVWC is currently in the midst of their 31 Days of Whobilation celebration where they have stolen a page from the immortal words of Dr. Suess, and are going to have a Best Dressed Who contest to go along with a traditional Christmas dinner.

Pastor Corey Berti has always had a mission mindset, but knows that reaching his community is his first and foremost responsibility and he is also a firm believer in having some fun while he and his church do it.

“The reason we offer a dinner every year is simply to provide a place of fellowship for our community where anyone can come out for a nice Christmas dinner, sing some traditional Christmas songs, have some fun with our gift giveaway and the best dressed contest and go home with a smile,” Berti said. “In the past, we haven't had a theme, it was just a traditional Christmas setting, but this year we wanted to change things up, so we decided to do a Whoville theme and we’ll have a ‘Best Dressed Who’ contest at the dinner.”

Silver Valley Worship Center’s community Christmas dinner will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, at the church in Smelterville.

Deputies attempted to ping the hunters’ cellphones, but the triangulated signal only indicated the phones were somewhere between Wallace and Clarkia, an area of roughly 500 square miles, Stutzke said.
