Our church held a Thanksgiving Day dinner at the local Senior Living complex. Church members made the food, and residents from the complex attended. Pastor Hollis Steward helped wherever needed. Kathy Stewart brined and cooked two turkeys. Crista made mashed potatoes. Tammy made her secret recipe sweet potatoes. "Butter, cream, brown sugar, maple syrup..." she hinted.. Kimberly made a green salad. Joanna made stuffing/dressing and gravy. Other dishes included the traditional green bean casserole and a creamy fruit salad. There was plenty left over to take home.

Sixth Street Seniors have a vegetable garden. Our church donated a wheelbarrow to aid in their gardening efforts.
We all love our new van, inside and out!
The church raffled off a scooter to generate funds for our upcoming youth ministry. Members set up shop around town to sell tickets 
and to inform residents about our church. Christa Bushnell won
the raffle. See Christa at left getting acquainted with the scooter. Pastor Hollis makes sure all goes well. Christa decided to give the scooter to her son Tre. His photo is at right.
