Lexington, KY – Immanuel Baptist Church is set to make a significant impact in the community this Thanksgiving season. Lead Pastor Ron Edmondson announced plans to support those in need during this time of gratitude and giving. The church aims to mobilize its congregation and resources to serve both members and the wider community.
Each year, the Thanksgiving initiative has become a cornerstone activity for the church, emphasizing their commitment to philanthropy and community service. This year, Edmondson is calling upon the congregation to actively participate in several outreach programs designed to support local families facing hardships.
The church will organize food drives, collecting non-perishable items, which will be distributed to families in need across Lexington. Additionally, volunteers will prepare and deliver meals to those who may be unable to provide for themselves this holiday season.
Furthermore, special services will be held at various campuses to bring the community together. One highlight includes a performance by Jason and Andrea Bonham from the church’s Winchester Road campus, who will present the hymn ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord.’ These services aim to foster hope and a sense of belonging among attendees.
Immanuel Baptist Church operates multiple campuses including those on Tates Creek Road, Armstrong Mill Road, and Cardinal Drive, reflecting its broad influence in the region. This allows the church to reach a diverse audience and provide support where it is most needed.
The Thanksgiving events are scheduled to unfold throughout the month of November, leading up to the holiday itself. Edmondson emphasized, “This is a time for reflection and action. We want to ensure that everyone feels the warmth of community support during this season of giving.”
For those looking to contribute, the church has provided a contact number, 859-685-3200, and encourages members of the community to get involved. Services can also be viewed on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. on local television.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Immanuel Baptist Church’s efforts are poised to leave a lasting mark on those who are often overlooked during the festivities. The congregation remains vigilant in its mission to serve and uplift, reinforcing the spirit of generosity that the holiday represents.
