Thanksgiving Boxes for Holy Cross Food Pantry |
|
Our friends at Holy Cross Lutheran Church plan on distributing Thanksgiving bags/boxes at their Food Pantry on the evening of November 19. In 2019 a record number of 125 families received a box. With the effects of the global pandemic, the needs are greater this year so Holy Cross plans to distribute 150 boxes. Each family will get grocery items to prepare a Thanksgiving meal; a five-pound bag of potatoes, cans of vegetables, a box of stuffing mix, a jar of gravy mix, rolls and most importantly, a frozen turkey. Each of the bags/boxes will cost approximately $20. We are asking that you consider helping a neighbor with a donation for a bag or part of a bag. You can write a check for your donation (with Turkey box in the memo line) and put it in the offering plate or mail to the church office. You may also use the Giving + app and donate using the special appeal option. The deadline to contribute is November 10th.
Interested in helping distribute the items on the evening of November 19 from 4:45pm to 7:00pm? Please contact Kathy Christiansen at sharonkc@cox.net or 402-657-4601.

500 food items to be matched with $500 from Thrivent for the Holy Cross Food Pantry |
|
We could not pass up the chance to “feed my sheep” at Holy Cross Lutheran by collecting 500 items of non-perishable food items from November 1-November 30 to earn $500 from Thrivent Financial in support of the Holy Cross Pantry. Please bring any non-perishable food item to Lord of Love and place on the table in the Narthex! If you are unable to get items to Lord of Love, but would like to contribute, financial gifts may be donated to Lord of Love (checks payable to Lord of Love), but please indicate clearly on check memo or envelope: Food Pantry.

More details to come for these events:
1. Jackie Combes has applied for a Thrivent Grant to continue making fleece blankets in December. If you would like to help, please contact her or Amy Kragnes. There will be no cookie tins assembled at church this year, but other ideas are being explored.
2. The Women’s Team annual planning meeting has been moved from November to April 2021.
3. The Spring Gathering will be held March 6, at First Lutheran in Blair.
4. The Triennial Gathering has been rescheduled for August 3-5, 2021 in Phoenix, AZ. One scholarship is still available for this event. Any questions regarding the 2021 Triennial Gathering or scholarships, please contact Gwen Edwards.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support. Questions-Rose Roberts
