It’s
that time of year again when our Congregation can share in the
gifts that God has blessed us with.
For many
years, the Deacons have
provided baskets of food to needy families in our church and community to help. We do not only supply food for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but include food for
every day needs.
We also became aware
several years ago that
some people aren’t able to cook a
turkey or a ham, so we give gift certificates, appropriate for the
size of the family, so that they can
make an individual choice of what fulfills their needs.
Our congregation
has always been generous in their giving
of food and gift certificates, and we are asking you to continue this tradition.
Please bring your donations to the
Narthex where we will have
a display for the “Baskets of
Blessings” during the months of October,
November and part of December.
Prior to Thanksgiving,
on Sunday, November
17 and prior to Christmas on Sunday,
December 15, the Deacons will work
together
to assemble the baskets. Only one or two
people are made aware of the
people to
whom the baskets will be delivered
to, so that
there is no concern about too many
people
having the information. Baskets
will be
delivered between Sunday
and Tuesday
evenings.
Although most of the recipients are not
able to come forward to thank you directly, please know that your donations mean so much to so many. Thank
you for your continued support.
