Duck Creek Village area Photographer and Videographer Patrick Mahler took this beautiful footage of Duck Creek Community Church in Duck Creek Village, the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Duck Creek Village, and the Nativity co-sponsored by DCCC and the Alton Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The young people who staged the Nativity were from the Alton Ward and live goats in a nearby pen, also from Alton, added to the realism. The mountain is a beautiful place full of the Christmas Spirit as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

DCCC ALMS

Supporting community needs.

Alms lunches in 2025

Three lunches held June, July, and August raised $4,300 to support alms projects including charitable gifts of food and items to worthwhile non-profit organizations in need of goods and services.

DCCC Alms gifted more than 100 small trees to senior centers in Cedar City so that they could be given to seniors at Christmas.  Church members contribute various dishes, appetizers, and desserts for fund-raising lunches held during the summer months. No one walks away hungry! Church goers donate $20 per person to enjoy the fabulous lunches. All monies raised help to support this year's projects benefitting seniors, families, and various worthwhile community charitable endeavors. The Alms project is led by DCCC member Cathy Riley and DCCC member and Sunday School Leader Pam Bugbee.
