4 ANNUAL THANKSGIVING MEALS It s that time of the year again to begin thinking of how we can help our community during the holidays. One way is to support the Annual Thanksgiving Meals. We will again provide cooked and uncooked turkey dinners to families on Thanksgiving Day. This ministry has been very successful the past several years by providing a full Thanksgiving meal to families in our community and the only way it can happen is with your help. Last year we served 200 people with this ministry!! Please consider donating food, money, and/ or your time. You can even support a whole family for only $30! The meal consists of the following: Whole Turkey lbs. we sometimes have families of 6-7 to feed 5lb bag of Potatoes Family sized can of Green Beans Package of Rolls Bag or box of stuffing Can of Gravy Can of Cranberry Sauce Pie or Cake Gallon of Tea Want to volunteer your time? Here is how you can help: *Offer to cook a turkey. We usually deliver around 15 +/- cooked meals and it s easier for individuals to offer to cook those for us. They can be delivered to the church on Wednesday evening the day before Thanksgiving Day or by 9:00am on Thanksgiving Day. *Come help cook the other items on Thanksgiving Day. We will be at the fellowship hall at 9am and are usually done and delivering by 1pm. It s now a tradition for some of us and we d love to have you! *Come help us deliver the meals. We will need volunteers to help pack and deliver the uncooked meals starting at 9am on Saturday, November 19 th and we will need help delivering the cooked meals starting at 12:00pm on Thanksgiving Day. If you can help out in any way, please contact Cheryl Kendrick at or at kendrickx5@gmail.com. Be Part of Our Hospitality Team! The Hospitality Teams is off to a good start and ready for more members. The purpose is to - Welcome visitors and members so that they will experience the friendship and Christian fellowship that is present at Tabernacle. - Prepare our church for outreach and growth in our community. Jesus said Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. We are creating hospitality teams at each worship service (9:00 and 11:00 am) and at all special events. Team members will be in the parking lot, at the doors and inside the halls and foyers Team members will be recognizable with name tags and with vests for parking lot greeters As a Hospitality Team member, you can serve one Sunday a month or as many Sundays as you would like. Our next Hospitality Team training will be held on Sunday, October 30 at 3:00 4:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We invite those who attended the first training to join us at 4:00 p.m. for a 30-minute continuation of the initial training. This will include a tour of the church (names and locations of each Sunday School classroom, nursery, church offices). We would also like your feedback on how this first month has been so we can improve. Our goal is for every member of Tabernacle to be an active member of the Hospitality ministry even if you are on one of the established teams.
