Annual Community Thanksgiving Meal
Thursday, November 25, 2021 11:00AM-12:00PM
St. John’s Episcopal Church, 628 Main Street Stamford, CT 06901
St. John’s Outreach and the First Congregational Church of Stamford, will be distributing Thanksgiving meals to the underserved in our Community, shut-ins and their caregivers, and those who are alone and would like to share in this opportunity for a Thanksgiving meal.  

Due to the COVID pandemic, we will not have a sit down meal at the church this year. We will instead be distributing meals that are individually bagged at the entrance to St. John’s Church from 11:00-12:00 on Thanksgiving Day. Homebound and their caregivers can contact St. John’s at (203) 348-2619 for reservations and delivery of meals. There is no charge. If you are interested in volunteering, please call me at 914 764-5758. 

Wishing you all a blessed and safe Thanksgiving Day.

  • Each week, two Yale Divinity School professors chat about a text from the coming Sunday's lectionary. It's especially for preachers and Bible study leaders preparing content for that week, and the podcast will also be relevant to anyone following the Revised Common Lectionary.  The first episode of Chapter, Verse, and Season: A Lectionary Podcast from Yale Bible Study comes out on Monday 11/22. You can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and/or listen to the trailer at this link: https://yalebiblestudy.org/podcasts/chapterverseandseason
