Glenville Church Feeds Community

In a season when families gather together around the table, in a family members home and give thanks for each member of the family members presence, a warm home and delicious food. A time when people eat till they are stuffed then sit laugh and talk. A time of togetherness. The Glenville church took away from their family togetherness time to give to those who may not have all the things we know to be thanksgiving; family, food, warm home, and fellowship.

90 volunteers headed by Orlean Whithead, came together to cook, bake, decorate ,advertise, host, pray and share literature for the thanksgiving feast at the church. They decorated and set up the fellowship hall to feed 200 people and contacted local shelters to supply the residents with a scrumptious meal. In addition to food, there was a prayer room where individuals could go to pray or to have someone pray with or for them. Also, as people left they were given fruit basket, Steps to Christ and a copy of Message Magazine. While individuals were being feed at the church the delivery crew was dropping off meals to homes and shelters around the city, in each of the take out meals was also a copy of Message Magazine. Glenville is a church modeling thanksgiving to its community, having served over 500 meals.
