Harvest Feast Word Cloud

11/25/2020

 
During our multigenerational Harvest Feast service last Sunday, everyone was asked to type what they are thankful for into the chat box. From those words of gratitude came this lovely Word Cloud! The larger the words, the more often they were mentioned in the chat. Thank you to everyone who participated and to Terrie Robbie for this wonderful idea!

Harvest Feast - Sunday, November 22

11/18/2020

 
Breaking Bread Virtually
Come break bread to celebrate the Harvest Feast and also help out college students in need. While we can’t be together in person for Harvest Feast this year, we can still keep our tradition alive with a little creativity. To that end, a few of us will be baking harvest muffins to provide to the congregation, allowing us to break bread (or muffins) together at the end of the service on Sunday, November 22. Muffins will be available to pick up Friday, November 20, from 3-6pm, and Saturday, November 21, from 10am-2pm. If these times don't work for you, or if you don’t have transportation, muffin delivery is available. If you require delivery, please contact Kris Los at 989-429-0425. Gluten-free muffins and vegan muffins are available. Please contact Annette Pratt at 989-400-0173 if you are interested in this category of muffin.We are also donating non-perishable goods or cash to the Central Michigan University Student Food Pantry. The fall semester ends before Thanksgiving, but foreign students and other students who will be staying in town could use our assistance. Please drop off donations when you pick up your muffins. Donations for the Student Food Pantry should be in the form of non-perishable goods, cash, or gift cards for Meijer or Walmart. Please note that any food that is dropped off must be labeled and tagged (from a store). Canned goods may be easiest. We would like to give the students something they could use for a Thanksgiving meal, so powdered mashed potatoes, canned yams, canned cranberries, etc., will be most useful.

Harvest Feast 2019

11/25/2019

 
Our annual Thanksgiving “Harvest Feast” celebration was a wonderful highlight of the year. We served about 100 people...and could have served even more as we had an abundance of food. We want to thank all those who provided delicious dishes: salads, fruits, casseroles, hot vegetables, relishes, vegetarian and vegan dishes, turkey, ham, gravy, dressing, bread, rolls…and delightful desserts!

​Another thank you to all the volunteers who set up on Saturday, came early on Sunday to organize the dishes and stayed after the feast to clean up. Kudos also to our youth – Abi Bailey who served as Master of Ceremonies and the youth who shared jokes and short readings with us at the Feast. We also appreciate that our youth, who had an overnight at the church on Saturday, made stone soup and butter, led by our RE Director Kendra Peffers and supported by Lea Sobrilsky, Seally Busch, Drew Frantz, Norma Bailey, Andrea Devenney, and Mel Bailey. Last, but not least, a tremendous thank you to Jen Prout, Kris Los and Brigitte Bechtold who organized all the food, did all the decorations and oversaw the entire operation!!!


It is at times like this that we experience the abundance of talent and generosity in our community. The friendship found in this community of faith gives special meaning to Thanksgiving.

Harvest Feast -  November 24

11/13/2019

 
Harvest Feast!The Harvest Feast, our annual celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday for all our members and friends, will follow the service on Sunday, November 24. There will be a short program presented during the feast, and the youth will be explaining and accepting donations to the UUSC Guest at Your Table Program. This program supports human rights and social justice in the United States and around the world. Please consider donating to this very effective program – cash, check or credit card. Sign-up sheets to contribute to the dinner are in the fellowship hall. Please sign up to bring what you can, and be sure to put this family-friendly event on your calendar!

Many Thanks for Harvest Feast 2018!

11/22/2018

 
Our annual Thanksgiving “Harvest Feast” celebration was a wonderful highlight of the year. We served about 70 people...and could have served even more as we had an abundance of food. We want to thank all those who provided delicious dishes: salads, fruits, casseroles, hot vegetables, sweet potatoes, vegetarian and vegan dishes, turkey, gravy, dressing, bread, rolls…and pies, cakes and cookies!

Another thank you to all the volunteers who happily set up on Saturday, came early on Sunday to organize the dishes and stayed after the feast to clean up. Kudos also to our youth – Abi Bailey and Tanyth Bass who served as Masters of Ceremonies, Jolie Damer-Daigle and Cynthia Damer who played violin duets, and Alexis Calhoun and Quinn Pelcher who entertained us with their Knock Knock jokes. We also appreciate our younger youth who had an overnight at the church on Saturday and made stone soup, bread, and butter, led by our RE Director Kendra Peffers and supported by Karlee Liles, Cynthia Damer and Norma Bailey. Last, but by no means least, a tremendous thank you to Jen Prout and Kris Los who oversaw the entire operation and worked almost all shifts! We couldn’t have done it without you both!

It is at times like this that we experience the abundance of talent and generosity in our community. ​The friendship found in this community of faith gives special meaning to Thanksgiving.

Oh No, Brigitte! How Could We Forget?

We owe a huge apology to Brigitte Bechtold who we inadvertently forgot to mention and thank profusely for all
her work to help make our Harvest Feast such a success. She was essential as the third member of the “Three
Musketeers” that provided leadership for the Harvest Feast this year. Thank you so much, Brigitte!
