Thanksgiving Baskets of Plenty- Sunday, November 20, is the Thanksgiving Food In-Gathering for Bethesda Community Food Pantry. Cash/chick donations and non-perishable food items will be placed in the altar area. Suggested food items: food which can be used by children during Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.
