Thanksgiving
Project
November 2019
For the next two months (October and the first two Sundays in November), we are asking the church family to bring STUFFING to the Tree of Hope. This
is just one of the food items that will be needed to
provide a bounteous Thanksgiving Dinner to nearly 450
families and over 1,000 people in our local area. The
food will once again be distributed by Turning Point
with the cooperation of several area church families,
civic/fraternal organizations, banks/credit unions,
businesses and countless individuals.
Last
year 422 families were served and this year the need maybe even greater, Anything and everything
that we can contribute will be greatly appreciated.
In addition to the Stuffing, we will be collecting
money to help pay for the turkeys and other
items that may be needed to supplement those
that have been contributed. Other area churches
will collect specific items and money for the
Thanksgiving Project.
The
folks at Tuning Point will be actively involved.
Shawn Stenquist along with Bob and Mary Dunham
and Jim and Holly Gleason will coordinate the
Project. We hope that all of us at Centenary will continue
to be very much involved in this wonderful endeavor.
In addition to all the items that are contributed and the money that will be donated, we are asking you to consider contributing a turkey for the cause. Monetary contributions are welcome at any time, but we, at Centenary, will specifically be collecting monety for the Thanksgiving Project on Sunday, October 27 and Sunday, November 3rd. Checks should be made payable to CUMC with Thanksgiving Project written on the memo line.
If you are aware of someone who is ill, hospitalized, facing surgery or just needs prayer to help cope with a situation, feel free to call us – we can support them in prayer.
Prayers are answered, and what a comfort knowing someone is actively praying for us.
The following is our Prayer Chain, call Sue Annis to start the prayers [if she is not available, continue down the list.]
