2009 Community Thanksgiving Dinner |
|
Tuesday, 17 November 2009 |
A tradition was born 28 years ago with the first Community Thanksgiving Dinner in Guymon and it continues this year at the Victory Memorial United Methodist Church.
Thanksgiving should be a time of celebration with friends and family. However, many times families find themselves separated during this holiday and many more cannot afford a Thanksgiving meal. If you find yourself in that position, consider joining us Thursday, November 26, at the Victory Memorial United Methodist Church Family Enrichment Center.
Associate Pastor Barry Bennett heads up the project this year and anticipates a crowd of over 300. Each year, food is donated by members of the church and meal preparation involves more than 50 people. You will find everything you expect for a great feast: turkey, gravy, dressing, green beans, mashed potatoes, salads, vegetables and desserts.
The Family Enrichment Center will open at 10 a.m., Thursday, November 26, for a time of fellowship and coffee. Thanksgiving parades will be viewed on the church's big screen television. The meal will be served at noon. After the meal, all are invited to enjoy football games on television and play Bingo. Prizes have been donated by area businesses for the Bingo portion of the festivities.
At 11:30 a.m., church members will deliver the meals for shut-ins. The route for these deliveries will be established Tuesday, November 24. You are encouraged to call the church office anytime before noon on Tuesday to arrange a meal to be delivered to your home on Thursday. The office number is 338-6501.
Plan now to join us for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner at 10 a.m., Thursday, November 26, with a meal served at noon. The Victory Memorial United Methodist Church Family Enrichment Family Center is located on the corner of 6th and Quinn. Please enter through the north door.
