Thanksgiving Bags Nominations

Do you know someone in our community who could use an extra blessing this fall? Nominate them to receive a festive bag filled with food cards and seasonal gifts in time for Thanksgiving! Nominees are those we know at church, in our neighborhood, at work, at school — anyone who might benefit from our deacons' friendly support.
