On Thursday, November 27, 2008, CrossRoads Mission will serve
Thanksgiving Day dinners to invited guests of the mission. |  |
St. Mark Lutheran Church has volunteered to provide
the volunteers to decorate, set up, serve the meal, and clean up
following the meal. We are prayerfully thankful for their
wonderful gift of Christian hospitality for this years meal. We
are taking reservations from any faith community who wants to provide
the volunteers for the 2009 Third Annual Thanksgiving Dinner.
Horizon's Chef Mike
Davis and his staff will once again prepare the turkey dinner with all
the traditional trimmings at the Kernels ball park kitchen. With
all the
wonderful comments on last years meal, we had no choice but to ask Chef
Mike to prepare the meal again this year. Horizons Inc.
was displaced as was CrossRoads in the flood of 2008, yet they
continue to survive and serve the
community as they look to relocate or rebuild.
Gloria Dei Lutheran
Church located at 153 Cherry Hill Road NW in Cedar Rapids has also
extended their generous Christian hospitality to host the 2008
Second
Annual Thanksgiving Dinner in their fellowship hall. What a huge
gift to the Guests who will be dining on Thanksgiving Day.
As always we depend on
congregations, businesses, and individuals to provide the financial
resources to pay for the food. In 2007 our cost was approximately
$600.00, and we anticipate that cost to be at least $750.00 to
$1,000.00 in 2008. It is hard to estimate the cost due to the
large number of folks that the flood has pushed into the culture of
poverty. We ask those who are stewards of the financial resources
necessary for this event to keep us in prayer, and if your heart is
touched by God to help make this a reality, please call Pat Kane at 319-981-1273.
