All are invited to share in a traditional feast, and individuals and families who would otherwise be spending the holiday alone are encouraged to attend. There is no charge for the meal, and donations will not be taken. The meal is being sponsored through the generous donations of area businesses. If you already have Thanksgiving Day plans of your own but would like to help with food preparation, donations of baked goods, set-up or cleanup, the church would be grateful. Call if you plan to attend or want to help.
