EIC Thanksgiving









Last Sunday, my church, Emmanuel International Church (EIC), had its annual Thanksgiving service and lunch. This is considered an outreach event to the community, so it is held in a different location than the church in order to hold everyone! There were approximately 350 people there from over 20 different countries! There were a good number of French people that came that do not normally attend EIC, including the mayor of our town (Rueil Malmaison)! I was able to help lead some of our youth in getting everything
setup and in serving the Thanksgiving meal.

The teens worked willingly and with smiles on their faces! Many people took note of that and were impressed! Fortunately, there was enough food for us servers afterward...especially the amazing sweet potato casserole!!
