Pictures of Thanksgiving
This year, people from area churches celebrated
Thanksgiving with their unhoused neighbors.
The event was hosted by
Christ the Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church (1550 Meridian Avenue, San José, CA 95125),
with the help of members of
Hope Lutheran Church
(2383 Pacific Drive, Santa Clara, CA)
and other congregations of the
El Camino Real Conference
of the Sierra Pacific Synod
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Here are a few photos we hope will convey the spirit of this
afternoon of community.
From food preparation in the kitchen...
Making the space especially inviting to everyone...
Sharing conversation over dinner...
Thoughtful thank-you letters afterwards...
