We have some late breaking news for your Thanksgiving Holiday:

Join us at MVUMC for our annual community Thanksgiving Dinner. Turkey, ham, all the fixin's, plus pie, of course! All are welcome. Dinner is free, cash donations accepted.

We can do store-bought pies, plus some donations of things like cookies, brownies, but no side dishes. If folks want to donate things like butter or rolls, that’s an option, since those are usually purchased. Please help us comply with Health District regulations and please do not bring home-cooked dishes or desserts.

We hope you can join us for a community celebration of thanksgiving, on Thanksgiving!!
