Community Thanksgiving dinner Nov. 24
To the editor:
Thanksgiving Day is nearly here and the committee for the 21st Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner is again making preparations for serving a hearty festive meal to hundreds of individuals. Around the tables at Asbury Church there will be a true cross section of our community, including individuals and families who are unable to commute to a family gathering; some with financial challenges and unable to prepare the traditional meal for their families; and there will also be many who attend this community event simply for the fun, fellowship, and the delicious food it offers.
In addition to the meal and the opportunity to gather with others, there will again be a variety of door prizes and gift certificates to various local businesses. Our hope is to provide a bit of enjoyment and to give the home budget a bit of relief even after the holiday is over.
As always, we are looking forward to including the homebound in this holiday tradition by furnishing double portions of food to carry them through a long weekend. If you are homebound, we have many drivers standing by who are anxious to deliver a traditional meal to your home. Please call either the Asbury United Methodist Church at (260) 726-8464 or Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at (260) 726-8832 (mornings) with your request.
If you choose to brighten the day of homebound individuals by joining them for dinner, feel free to stop by Asbury for the number of carryout meals you will need.
If you have your own holiday tradition with your family but would like to lend a hand, please feel free to make an extra dish (in a disposable container, please) and drop it off at Asbury as you travel to your gathering. Any dish is welcome, but vegetables are especially needed.
As always, the welcome mat is out to the entire Jay community. We encourage all of you to join us for this heartwarming day. Even if you cannot be a part of this celebration, we hope your family shares a bountiful holiday of peace and joy.
