Several local churches are planning the seventh annual Giving Thanks at Thanksgiving. This meal is for anyone in need of a hot meal, cooked with love, on Thanksgiving. The meal will be served on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22, 2012, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, at First Lutheran Church, 4000 Concord Blvd, Concord, CA 94519. We plan to serve a home-cooked style meal of turkey with all the trimmings.  All are welcome to attend.
