We thank God for His faithfulness in all that resulted from the Thanksgiving outreach to our community. Many testified how they enjoyed serving (we had 75-plus volunteers), and others shared how the meals and mission gifts greatly blessed our guests.

The atmosphere inside the church was one of joy and excitement. Many of our young people and children waited tables cheerfully and mingled with guests. The music, the children's craft table, the abundance of food -- every detail worked out beautifully.

A big "thank you" goes to Lynn Sisler -- and the core committee -- for tireless work in making this event a memorable one for all of us in serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Lynn also gives a special "thank you" to all the people who participated in the giving, planning, serving, cooking, setup, cleanup, music, and reaching out to our guests.

Lynn wants to invite everyone to a church-wide Christmas Potluck on December 16 at 6:30 p.m. as a "thank you." Potluck by last name: A-J main dish, K-S side dish, and T-Z dessert. Dress in fun Christmas attire, and each family bring an inexpensive wrapped gift for a child, labeled with gender and age range.

Sunday Pickup: Bread trays, a generator, pots, pans, oven mitts, and other borrowed items from the Thanksgiving Community Dinner can be collected this Sunday. Most are in Room 6.
