Showing Appreciation for Churches that host Community Thanksgiving Pot Luck Meals
East Texas and the Golden Triangle
We think of Thanksgiving as a time for families to get together and spend a wonderful day together, enjoying great food and even more wonderful company.
Unfortunately, that is not always the reality. 
Across Southeast Texas, many families have become fractured. Many of our neighbors, our friends even, will be spending Thanksgiving alone.
Often the reason is simple. Many family members live and work in far off places like Virginia, California, or the Middle East. Hundred, or thousands of miles of seperation make it difficult to visit, even during Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Other reasons are more complicated. Divorce is a big one, with kids and grandchildren splitting holidays between parents.
Whatever the reason people are alone, East Texas church Thanksgiving meals can be a real blessing. A pot luck gives congregation members the opportunity to show off their best dishes and gives community members a chance to share a holiday meal with others, helping fight off loneliness and holiday depression.
To all our Golden Triangle and East Texas churches, thank you for everything you do to strengthen our communities. We appreciate you, at Thanksgiving and all year long.
We hope that this is a Happy Thanksgiving for you.
