Thanksgiving was different this year – a drive-by rather than a sit-down dinner.

We are so glad that a new venue allows us to return to in person dining on Tuesday nights! We continue to do what we can to provide a safe meal – and you can still request a take-out meal if you need to, but the drive through format has returned to in person dining, and we are so glad for the fellowship that provides.
