So many thanks to all the parishioners who contributed to the St John effort at the Bristol Lodge soup kitchen. We carved a dozen turkeys and warmed twice as many side dishes to serve at their Thanksgiving feast and the guests were so appreciative of your efforts. Many thanks for your annual support of this outreach program. Thanks, always, for making all our outreach programs
so successful.
