House of Grace Holds Thanksgiving Dinner

SOUTH ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Nearly 200 pounds of turkey were prepared
and served at the Thanksgiving dinner held at House of Grace Church
in South Zanesville today. In addition to serving meals to those in
need at the church, meal deliveries were also made to home-bound
individuals this holiday. Pastor Joe Dunlap, with House of Grace,
says those in need of deliveries called the church with the number of
dinners needed.

“We’ve been
receiving phone calls and we’ve been packing turkey dinners
together and sending them out—they’re already out delivering them
this morning to those that are shut in; they can’t get here. And,
then we’re still expecting a crowd to come here again we prepare
for 250 and by the end of the day it’ll be all gone.”

House of Grace seeks
to provide those in need within the community with a hot meal and
fellowship each Thanksgiving.

“We just want to
give to the community. There’s so many people that are hurting, has
lost their lobs or are in-between jobs—and there’s some people
that are shut in and they can’t get out; and they have no family.
And, we just want them to know that we’re here to help them to
serve our community.”

The Thanksgiving
dinner held at House of Grace was held from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM
today and was made possible through church and community volunteers.
