Sharing the Love of Thanksgiving:
Hi everyone, this is Jim Copeland from Christ’s Body Ministries. As we prepare for Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on what it means to serve, to give, and to be grateful. Tomorrow, we’ll be serving over 400 meals to the homeless at our partner ministry, the 38th Street Shelter, in collaboration with Denver Rescue. These meals—complete with turkey, dressing, green beans, and potatoes—are more than just food; they’re an expression of love, hope, and the spirit of Thanksgiving. It’s a privilege to serve in this capacity, and we are so thankful for the opportunity to make an impact in our community.
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the blessings in our lives, and we’ve experienced God’s faithfulness in so many ways this year. Though the year started with challenges, we’ve seen incredible growth and renewal. Our food distribution is now exceeding pre-COVID levels, and we’re exploring new opportunities to expand our outreach. Each day, we’re serving meals, ministering to souls, and witnessing people come to faith in Christ. It’s a testament to what happens when God’s people come together to serve.
We’re also celebrating the addition of a new part-time Hispanic pastor to our team. His ministry is thriving, leading many to faith and baptisms. Our church services are full of joy, community, and spiritual renewal. There’s so much to be thankful for, and it’s all made possible through the prayers, time, and generous giving of our supporters. Every meal, every act of service, and every changed life is a direct result of your partnership.
This Thanksgiving, we’re asking for your continued support. Your generosity enables us to keep feeding, ministering, and offering hope to those in need. If you feel moved to give, please consider making a donation to Christ’s Body Ministries. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of thousands of people, showing them the love and compassion of Christ. Click here to give today, and help us share the spirit of Thanksgiving with those who need it most. God bless you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
