  • If it becomes difficult for someone to provide items for their box, another option available is to donate money to assist with the cost of shipping the boxes. 

THANKSGIVING MEALS

  • Each year members of our church gather together to share in a pot luck thanksgiving meal here at the church.
     

  • This provides an opportunity for members to share in fellowship and to thank our Lord for all the blessings he bestows upon His children daily.
     

  • It also provides an opportunity to reach out as a church into our community. Before we share in our meal, with the assistance of our youth, the church delivers from 20-30 meals to shut-ins and single people within our community providing them with a hot thanksgiving meal.
     

  • It is also an opportunity for church members to meet together to encourage one another which is one of the scriptural reasons for meeting together.

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICE
