FEAST
Thanksgiving Collection
This year, more than any year that most of us can remember, the opportunity to help those in need has never been more apparent. As we do each year, we can help FEAST provide Thanksgiving dinners for the many people in our community who need assistance.
There are several ways that you can donate:
Bring items from the list below and leave them in the Fellowship Hall on November 3 or 10. FEAST has also requested the personal care items listed to help victims of the hurricanes.
-
Provide a turkey. You can deliver a frozen turkey directly to FEAST on November 16 from 9:00 am until noon at their temporary location at 1119 Illinois Ave. in Palm Harbor.
-
Provide cash or a check payable to FEAST. Give your donation to Roberta Tomko or Cathy Elwell by November 10.

Angel GivingTree
Please stop by the narthex and choose an Angel Card from the Giving Tree. These gifts will be given to a foster family (8 foster children and 2 foster grandparents) provided to us from Lutheran Services Florida.

If you like, partner with one or more others to shop for the gifts listed on the card.

Return each gift to the Giving Tree in a gift bag with tissue paper (please not wrapped) and a gift tag with the child’s name and the card # no later than Dec. 8.

If you need assistance with shopping, contact one of your Social Ministry team members.

Place donations of new undies & socks in the bin under the Giving Tree. This is the start of our community undie/sock cupboard.
Christmas Caroling
Join members of the Choir following worship on December 15th. Following snacks/light lunch we plan to go caroling to St, Mark's Village and Coral Oaks and to some of our members. We will travel by car pool. We expect to be done between 2 and 3pm. Come for all or part of the fun. Share in the Christmas joy!
Quilt Sundays -November 17th and 24th
We have enjoyed another successful year of quilt making. We will again donate 50 quilts to local needs. They go to Rez House, Wellness Ministries, Directions for Living, ROPE Center, and Lutheran Services Florida. The rest will go to Lutheran World Relief. We will have them on the pews November 17th and 24th and they will be available to you for a donation. Our suggested donation is $40 each. We will have some special Christmas ones as well. We will have the remainder of this year’s quilts on the pews Feb. 2nd , 2025, before they are boxed to go to LWR.
