Every year, The Village Church Denton serves thousands of our neighbors through our annual Thanksgiving banquet.  This year we will celebrate our 34th year of this banquet!

Because of the reality of COVID-19, we will have to change the way we do the banquet but the heart is the same: to serve the most vulnerable in our community through food and the love of our Lord Jesus.

This year’s banquet will take place at Calhoun Middle School on Thanksgiving Day at 11 am. We’ll be offering a limited number of meals to-go for those who are interested.  There is not a need for volunteers this year  due to the format of the banquet.

For questions about the banquet, please email John Warren.

Serving

Historically, we have hosted the meal at Calhoun Middle School and along with turning bread crumbs, peeling potatoes and making butter from scratch, the week of Thanksgiving has been spent creating handmade platemates and cards for community members comeing to eat with us. These have been a highlight – a simple way to express love, dignity and welcome.

This year, even though our Thanksgiving banquet will look very different, we still have the opportunity to bless neighbors by making a card to go with each meal we distribute.

Please join us up at the church parking lot on Monday, November 23 from 11:00am-1:00pm or Tuesday, November 24 from 2:00-4:00pm for a card making extravaganza. The hope is to create or color 500 cards in preparation for Thursday. All supplies will be provided. If you would prefer to make cards at home and bring them by the church, that is great too. Please plan to drop them off during one of the times listed above.
