Michelle Ricks will be hosting Cooking Club in her home on Thursday November 8th at 7 p.m. The theme is Thanksgiving. We will be keeping tradition by having a Thanksgiving Feast with a honey glazed ham and all the fixings. Since we are a community rich in faith you will be proud to know that Thanksgiving Day is not actually Historically a Feasting Day but rather a day for prayer and fasting. It was around a 150 years later that the feasting was tied in! Governor William Bradford of the 1620 Pilgrim Colony wrote, "All ye Pilgrims with your wives and little ones, do gather at the Meeting House, on the hill… there to listen to the pastor, and render Thanksgiving to the Almighty God for all His blessings." It's not likely that Governor Blunt will declare anything like this anytime soon however, lets keep the true spirit of Thanksgiving alive in our hearts and homes.
