Project Turkey is our way of giving thanks to God for His provision as we adopt families within our community who are less fortunate than us by providing Thanksgiving dinner boxes. This year, we are partnering with the The Treasure Box to provide holiday dinner boxes for 100 families whose children attend Moon Mountain and Cactus View Elementary schools. Here's how you can adopt a family.
1.Purchase one (or more) holiday dinner box(es). - For only $31, you can adopt a family by buying a Treasure Box holiday dinner that includes all of the fixings of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner plus a whole lot more! Simply pay online for the amount of the gift you'd like to make, or write a check (include "Project Turkey" on the memo line) and drop it in a Connection Box at church no later than Sunday, November 15.
2.Deliver a holiday dinner box. Many of the families do not have transportation. You can make your gift more personal by delivering the box to their home. Deliveries will be made at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 21.
3.Help on delivery day. All the boxes will be delivered to MVBC at noon on Saturday, November 21. We will need help unloading and distributing boxes to those families who are able to pick up their boxes at MVBC. Plan to be here by 11:45 a.m., we expect to be finished by 1:30 p.m.

November is here!
Thinking Thanksgiving is the only day to celebrate in November?
Here are some fun dates that you and your family can "celebrate"....
November is National Pomegranate Month. Enjoy eating and decorating with this seasonal fruit. Make simple place cards for a family meal by making a slit in the blossom end of each pomegranate. Have your child decorate a name card to put in the slit and put one at each person's place.
3rd- Sandwich Day. In honor of the inventor of the sandwich, John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, try a new kind of sandwich today. Let kids select a new flavor of jelly or a new kind of cheese.
7th- International Tongue Twister Contest. How many times can you and your children say "toy boat" or "yellow yo-yo" before you start laughing?
21st- Family Volunteer Day. Even young children can practice helping others! See if there is a project you and your children can help with at your church, preschool or for a neighbor. Let little ones stack books, dust furniture or shine doorknobs.
26th- Thanksgiving Day. Begin the tradition of having everyone in the family name something they are thankful for. Teach young ones to say a simple prayer of thanks before going to bed. "Dear God, thank you for ______" and let them fill in the blank.
