Basalt Thanksgiving dinner baskets

Volunteers are needed to collect these donations on the days at the market, and for filling and delivering (strictly confidential) these boxes of food, volunteers are asked to gather Wednesday, Nov. 26, at the Basalt church.

Please phone Cindy Wilson, 927-3764, to set up your positions on this heart-fulfilling assembly line.

Aspen Chapel Thanksgiving service and potluck dinner

The Aspen Chapel Christian and Jewish communities will host a Thanksgiving service and potluck dinner at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Aspen Chapel. A short service by the children of both Christian and Jewish communities will start at 5 p.m. followed by the potluck dinner in the Aspen Chapel Gallery. People attending are asked to bring a side dish to share.

At 4 p.m., prior to the 5 p.m. service and dinner, Rev. Gregg Anderson and Rabbi Laurie Green will have an informal discussion about Thanksgiving.

The Aspen Chapel youth are also sponsoring “Soles for Souls,” a program which takes donations of slightly used shoes, which will go to people in need of shoes. Persons wishing to contribute can bring the shoes to the service or take them to the chapel any time between 10 a.m. and 4 pm.
