Thanksgiving

Worship & share your gifts!

Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Mount Olivet Members and Friends,

We have so much for which to be grateful at all times, but are especially mindful of this as we approach Thanksgiving, a day set aside to give thanks for our manifold blessings. This November, I invite you to experience the joy of giving thanks by joining us for worship at our Thanksgiving Eve service on Wednesday, November 27, at 6pm at both campuses. This worship service includes some of our wonderful high school students sharing their reflections on thankfulness, a message from the pastoral staff, and both the Cathedral and Sanctuary Choirs. I also invite you to share your gifts at one, or all, of our service opportunities by:

  • Bringing non-perishable food items to support local food banks for our Food Drive.
  • Donating an unwrapped gift to our Christmas For All Donation Drive. Your donations fill a Christmas store at our West Campus where clients of our ministry partner, Love INC, can come do their holiday shopping.
  • Making a gift using the Thanksgiving offering envelope that may have been mailed to you, online here, or by contacting the finance office at 612.767.2255. Your gift supports local and global hunger initiatives.

Thank you for your partnership in ministry at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, a family of faith that knows we are blessed to be a blessing!
