On behalf of First United Methodist Church I want to thank all of the kind and generous folks who gave of their time and/or money to help make FUMC’s 2nd Annual Community Christmas Feast a huge success. On Christmas Day FUMC hosted approximately 100 - 120 diners who ate a grand Feast of turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, coleslaw, rolls, punch, coffee, milk, cookies, cakes, and pies. Over 40 workers from FUMC, EUM, Trinity Wesleyan, Greenville Church of the Brethren, and elsewhere helped to contribute and put together the meal, and then cleaned up afterward. Much appreciation goes to Eikenberry’s IGA for providing the ham.
Finally, a special Thank You also to proprietor Mark Davis who left his home and family on Christmas morning to open the store at 11 AM so that we could have our potato rolls. Someone -- OK, yours truly -- forgot to pick them up on Christmas Eve, so he saved me (that didn’t keep me from getting razzed about it, however! :)
Greenville has some very giving people. Thank You.
Rev. Joe Payne
First United Methodist Church, Greenville
