Monthly Food Drive/Community Service

can't afford to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Several markets and
restaurants will be donating turkeys, but we can help with the other
food items that make Thanksgiving dinner special. There will be a
handout this Sabbath of the possible food items you can bring to the
foodshare next Sabbath. Among the items needed are: boxes of
stuffing and rice, canned olives, corn, gravy, fruit and mixed
vegetables, and packages of rolls. There will be a box by the door
next Sabbath for your donations. We appreciate your generosity.
Also, if you are interested in helping to plan community service
events, please join the meeting planned for this Sabbath morning at
9:45 a.m.
