The Smithville First Baptist Church is hosting another Community Day on Saturday, November 23 from 9 am until 11 a.m. at the church’s Life Enrichment Center (gym).

The community is invited to turn out for great fellowship and a lot of freebies.

“It’s called our Community Day and we do several of these throughout the year,” said Chad Ramsey, pastor of Smithville FBC. “Every fall in November we do a Thanksgiving food basket give away. This year it will be on Saturday, November 23. It starts at 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. We will be giving away free food baskets and everything in the baskets will be items you can create and have a wonderful Thanksgiving or holiday meal including things like macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, some vegetables. cranberry sauce or yams, cake mixes, etc and it’ll easily be a full meal when you put it all together. This year we’re including in the food baskets sliced ham. We used to give a voucher, and you would take that voucher and pick up your ham the week before Thanksgiving. This year you will actually walk out the door with a ham ready to cook. It’ll be sealed so that if you want to wait until after Thanksgiving you can because it’ll be good until after Christmas,” said pastor Ramsey.

“We will also have some blankets and things to keep you warm this time of year along with a photo booth if you want to have a family portrait made. It’ll all be held indoors in our LEC gym at Smithville First Baptist Church and we would love to have you come. It’s open to everybody. Just tell us how many people you have in your family because you will get a certain amount of food based on how many is in your family,” he said.
