During the week of Thanksgiving two Blount County communities showed their gratitude through worship for the many blessings we all share. In traditional Thanksgiving worship services the Alcoa and Maryville communities gave thanks, worshipped and received offerings to share with the CFC. The Blount County Ecumenical Action Council and several local churches gathered for the Maryville service. Through their offering the CFC was blessed not only with almost $350.00 but also with many cans of staple foods.
First Baptist of Alcoa, Praise Temple Assembly of God, Green Meadow Church of God, Armona Baptist Church and Alcoa First United Methodist Church gathered to worship in the new sanctuary at Alcoa FUMC for their Thanksgiving service. More than $828.00 was collected and donated to the CFC.
Combined more than one thousand dollars was shared with the CFC. These funds will be used to buy food and help feed hungry people in these very communities. What a special way to acknowledge Thanksgiving and our many blessings.
The board of the CFC is thankful for these generous gifts.
