This year's Sea Gulf Villa Thanksgiving basket delivery was special for all who were in attendance. Our focus this year was to truly meet, connect, share, and invite others into Christ's family and our St. Mark's family. Upon arriving, we gathered in the main lobby of the apartment complex. A brief message and reflection were given by Allie on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Mrs. Sally Buck and her granddaughter lead a craft for the residents, and the youth did a gratitude activity. We were able to speak with, pray with, and check in with 65 residents and shared the message of Jesus Christ with them before giving them their Thanksgiving baskets.  

We were also blessed to have a financial donation from H-E-B to help with the cost of our turkeys, rolls, and pumpkin pies. Lastly, we truly appreciate the overwhelming generosity of St. Mark's parishioners helping with donations of the canned good items, as well as assisting with the delivery and driving. Due to the generosity of our parishioners, we had extra canned good items and they were brought to Mission 911 and to Timmon's Ministry. This outreach event is possible due to your prayers, support, and financial giving.
