Join us as we give back to our community in different ways all throughout the month of November and December. check out below what we have planned and how you can get involved.
Thrive Drive Kick Off
October 27 :: Our Season of Service has begun with the Thrive Food Drive.
You have the opportunity to contribute in multiple ways. The first option consist of picking up a recipe card from the table in the foyer where you can shop for all the items needed for that recipe and return the items in a grocery bag with the recipe card attached.
The second way is to pick up a copy of our “grocery list”. You can use this list to shop for as many of the items as they like. These items will go towards making “Thanksgiving Dinner Meal Kits”.
All food donations must make it to the church by November 17th.
Finally, the teens will host a night on Friday, November 22nd where we as a church can come together and package as many meal kits as possible to be delivered to Thrive before Thanksgiving. These meal bags, plus the recipe cards, will provide a full meal for an individual or family.
Recipe cards for other varieties of meals will be available Sunday morning in the foyer.
