Thanksgiving Altar Donations

Thanksgiving Altar Donations

The Sanctuary Guild has always decorated our Thanksgiving Altar the Saturday before Thanksgiving with seasonal vegetables and fruits. After service, the bounty of fresh food is taken to Shepherd’s Table to be used to prepare meals for people in need. During covid, this tradition was paused, but we are glad to be resuming this tradition this year!

 

Shepherd’s Table, a nonprofit community based organization, was formed through the joint effort of 33 local congregations (including CCC) to help people who are homeless or in need by providing basic services (including meals, social services, medical support, clothing, and other assistance). Our congregation has always provided support to this organization as part of our Justice & Witness Ministry. On the second Wednesday of each month, some members of our congregation help to serve dinner at Shepherd’s Table.

  • Pumpkins
