Up and Going

On Thursday, Nov 14th Up and Going had 18 members and guests gather in the Fellowship Hall to enjoy an early Thanksgiving.

• Business was conducted, and the Treasurer’s Report was given by Bob.
• The meeting schedule for 2020 was distributed and discussed.
• Gary gave a very interesting devotional on giving thanks. We read responsively “A Family Prayer of Thanks”.
• Helen gave a prayer of thanks for the bountiful and delicious meal prepared for our enjoyment.
• After lunch, Helen read a Helen Steiner Rice poem entitled “A Special Thank You”. She also read a hymn of Thanksgiving and Harvest.
• We collected the recipes that each had brought for our cookbook. We talked freely about the origins of these recipes and the customs of past Thanksgivings. This discussion brought back precious memories of our loved ones.
• Helen thanked all for the generous gifts of food for We Care.
• The December Meeting will be held on the Dec 12th at 11 AM in the Fellowship Hall. Please bring Holiday food for sharing and 3 items of non-perishable food for We Care. This will be our gift to each other this year. Joan will have devotions.

Hope to see you then.
