Community Thanksgiving Dinner Changed
Due to the small size and advancing age of the First United Methodist Church’s congregation, the church administrative council has decided to withdraw from the Community Thanksgiving Dinner.
Over the past few years, two other turkey dinners have been prepared with invitations to everyone in the community: one at the school cafeteria and another at the Senior Citizens’ Center. In addition to those, most of us enjoy a nice meal with our families to celebrate Thanksgiving. We feel it is time to try something new.
In lieu of hosting the community dinner, we intend to support the West Texas Food Bank. One dollar given to this organization provides six meals for hungry people who do not have the opportunity to eat with a family at home. If you are interested in joining us in this project for people who do not have a Thanksgiving meal, please contact your local minister for the information provided by the food bank. --- Michael Hoch, Chairman, First United Methodist Church of Garden City Administrative Council
