The Topic
Unexpected Gratitude: Feeding the 5,000
When Jesus goes to perform one of His most famous miracles, His disciples are worried that they don't have enough food for everyone. With only five loaves of bread and two fish to feed 5,000 people, Jesus takes the bread and gives thanks before breaking and distributing it. This must have confused all of the disciples. Why would someone give thanks when they clearly don't have what they need? And yet, after that display of gratitude, those five loaves and two fish were able to feed everyone and leave leftovers.
Food Collection
Our Thanksgiving Food Drive will benefit Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac. They accept donations of food and toiletry items.
Fresh produce and non-perishable food can be brought up to the chancel during the procession at the Gratitude Service on Thanksgiving Day (see above). Other donations can be placed on the collection table in the foyer.
If you're unable to attend the Thanksgiving service, we will collect donations on Sunday, November 24th.
