Yesterday, 56 bold people went out from Vineyard OP to deliver Thanksgiving meals to families in need in our community.  These 56 were divided into 18 teams of families, couples and friends willing to spend a Sunday afternoon serving our community.  Thank you so much to everyone who made the deliveries.

We delievered all of the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal to 67 families right here in the Shawnee Mission school district.  That is the local church serving the local community - one of our core values.  These meals included a turkey (just in time to thaw in the fridge in time for Thanksgiving), a baking pan, green beans, stuffing, gravy, rolls, cranberry sauce and a cake with icing.

And thank you to all who donated!  We paid for the turkeys out of the money we collect from the boxes at the back of the auditorium and the rest of the food was donated by generous people from our congregation.  This is an example of what it means when "Everybody gets to play" in the Kingdom of God.

Thank you so much for your generosity!

Unfortunately, I was so busy coordinating the event that I forgot to stop and take any pictures.  DOH!  Anyway, maybe I'll have some photos next year!
