This Thanksgiving we had the unique opportunity to join other Sunday School classes in assembling and distributing Thanksgiving "baskets" to pre-screened familes in and around the Charlotte-Metro area. Each box contained a turkey, dressing, yams, cranberry sauce, potatoes, rolls, pumpkin pie, green beans, pinto beans, spaghetti/spaghetti sauce, etc. Panera bread also donated bags of cookies for each box! We also included a bag of information about our church, a Bible, a CD, and a card :) It was such a blessing to be able to witness the joy and appreciation these families experienced through our willingness to serve. God used this opportunity to bless our hearts as well. 106 families (467 people) are now able to enjoy a warm, scrumptious Thanksgiving meal as a result. This is exactly what we mean when we say we are to be the "hands and feet of Jesus".
