world relief thanksgiving potluck
Wednesday, November 13th, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Hosted by Olympia First Baptist Church
That’s right boys and girls! We are hosting this year’s Thanksgiving Potluck here in our Fellowship Hall on November 13th. Last year’s meal was hosted by New Bridge Community Church and this year, we have the honor of exercising our hospitality gifts!
The good news is that it is a potluck. People will be bringing food to share. Some will be traditional Thanksgiving fare. Other dishes will reflect the different countries and cultures that our resettled families come from. It will be quite the smorgasbord.
How can you help? What can you bring?
First off, you can come! Bring a dish to share, a side, a salad, a dessert of even a main dish. It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving-ish; it can reflect where you come from, your heritage.
We will also need to put together a Hospitality Team that will need a Team Leader!
If you would like to take on that role, please let Pastor Mark know. We will be getting direction and some help from the World Relief Staff, but our familiarity with the kitchen and space, will be greatly needed. Help putting food out, bringing empty dishes back to be washed, dishwashing, helping wherever it is needed, are just some of the behind-the-scenes work that a hospitality team does.
Look for sign-up opportunities the next 2 Sundays, or call the Church Office and Lela will add you to the list!
DONATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS FAMILIES
This year we will be collecting financial donations for Christmas families from November 17th thru December 1st. Make sure you designate your giving to “Christmas Families-Deacon’s Fund,” whether in the Memo line of your check and/or the space provided if you give online.
Remember that your giving is above and beyond whatever your tithes and offering is to the church. So be prayerful as you step into God’s abundance.
Your donation will be used in the following manner – to purchase gifts and/or gift cards for:
Christmas families/individuals who are part of Olympia First Baptist!
This is our in-house community who are a regular part of our congregation but could use a little something more to make the holiday memorable.
