Dear Friends in Christ,

The week leading up to Thanksgiving was full of hustle and bustle as our four churches and the Grace and Mercy Foodbank worked together to distribute food to our church members, neighbors and our new friends who make their living working in the fields and live in trailer parks in Linden.

This is the first verse of my favorite Thanksgiving hymn:

Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God our Maker doth provide

For our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.

At our Thanksgiving Service on Wednesday Evening and at our Thanksgiving meals on Thursday we could truly give thanks for the good work God has given us to do and God’s amazing provision of enough food to feed us all.

I have attached pictures.

Faithfully yours,

Rebecca
