18 November 2012 Thanksgiving Worship Service and Feast

Please join us this Sunday (18 November 2012) at 11:00 AM for “A Service of Thanksgiving” — our annual Thanksgiving Service and Feast.

We begin with a brief service in the Sanctuary that continues with a Ritual of Thanksgiving in the Social Hall, followed immediately by an abundant feast, to which you are invited and encouraged to contribute as you are able.

If you are willing and able, please bring a dish to share. If you want specific information on what is still needed, you may email or call Sarah Boswell of the Food, Folks and Fun Committee (see below).

Otherwise, bring a pan of dressing (or, dare i say, even “stuffing” – I guarantee we’ll eat it no matter what we call it!), a vegetarian entree, your favorite vegetable side, a dessert or bread, an appetizer or a fruit or vegetable tray.  Bring anything that you feel is an indispensable part of a Thanksgiving meal, whether it’s a classic tradition or just a tradition in your family.

For information on how you can help with the feast, please email Sarah Boswell or call her at (318) 865-8831.

And if you can’t bring food, don’t let that stop you from coming — Join the Cleanup Crew:

If you often don’t or can’t hang around for cleanup, perhaps you can make a plan to do that this week out of gratitude to those who do it so often.  One thing we’ve learned from working the Highland Dinners is that many hands really do make light work, and a big cleanup crew = a fast cleanup for all!
