November 28th Meeting
David and Amy Lancaster, founders of We Will Go Ministries, will be our guest speakers on Tuesday Nov. 28th. In 2000, the Lancaster's wanted more out of their Christian lives. They saw there was great need in Jackson, MS. Their heart to see a better Jackson led them to take action and say “we will go.” They began to partner with others with the heart to be a neighbor to those in the community. We Will Go has continued to grow over the years with the help of volunteers, donors, churches, and partners. We Will Go now focuses efforts towards Education, Essential Food, and Engagement.

Prayer
In this season of Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect upon what life would be like were it not for your immeasurable love, grace and generosity. We give thanks for life itself, for minds to use in creative ways, and for hearts which generate compassion and love. We are grateful for the capacity to worship, to work, and to use those gifts to bring honor and glory to your name. As we share today the material gift of food, we are grateful. With thankful hearts we pray. Amen.
