Community invited to join together in giving & gratitude

GOLDEN VALLEY, MINN. (Nov. 12, 2015) – When done well, an attitude of gratitude and the act of giving seem to go hand in hand. In that spirit, Calvary Lutheran Church invites the public to a community Thanksgiving service on Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 7 p.m. Calvary is located at 7520 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minn.

The service will feature music, prayer, Bible readings and a special holiday message, as well as a free-will offering for Calvary’s Hunger & Human Needs Fund, which supports local and global relief and development programs. All worship service attendees are invited to stay afterwards for free dessert.

Calvary is also organizing a month-long community food drive benefiting the food shelves of PRISM (Golden Valley) and Community Emergency Services (Minneapolis). The goal is to collect more than 20,000 pounds of non-perishable groceries and hygiene items by the end of November. Visit calvary.org/fooddrive for a list of suggested donations, which may be delivered inside Calvary’s main entrances on the north and south sides of the church.

The mission of Calvary Lutheran Church is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Established in 1946, Calvary offers six weekly worship services and a wide variety of ministries for children, youth and adults. For more information, call 763-545-5659 or visit calvary.org.
