Thanksgiving dinner

JAY — New Life Baptist Church announced on Sunday that the church would host a free turkey dinner from 2 to 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. The pastor of the church, Dr. Chris Grimbilas, made the announcement following the Sunday morning service. “Our folks are excited about it,” said Pastor Grimbilas. “We will put out a full Thanksgiving meal; a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.” Several folks in the church immediately volunteered to help serve of cook food. The church realizes that there some are those who are hurting and some who have no place to go. New Life Baptist Church, according to Grimbilas, is someplace that folks will be welcomed, fed, and looked after for that holiday meal. If folks would like to volunteer to help or have food they would like to donate, please email the church at office@newlifeinjay.org.
