As many of you will remember, a new outreach program was embarked upon in 2006. This was the Thanksgiving Ingathering project. As you may recall, members of Advent donated bags of specific food items and these bags were transported to LSS for distribution prior to Thanksgiving Day, so the needy could also enjoy a Thanksgiving Dinner. Due to the overwhelming success of this ministry, we are asking for your help again. Those members wishing to donate bags of food, or to make a cash donation (due by November 15), or both, are asked to see the display and sign up sheet in the narthex.

The following items need to be in each bag:

• Four medium sized baking potatoes
• One box of stuffing (6 oz. size)
• Two containers of gravy (each being the 12 oz size)
• Two cans of vegetables (corn, or beets or green beans, or mixed vegetables, 14.5 ounce size)
• Two cans of cranberry sauce (16 ounce size)
• One container of cookies (18 ounce or larger)
• Two cans of fruit

Please bring the bags to church starting November 8, 2009.  On Monday, November 23, 2009, they will be transported to LSS and then distributed.
