Several Thanksgiving dinners open to the community will take place this week.

Grace Fellowship Church and Through the Grace of God Ministries will sponsor an early Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at the Clanton Recreation Center on Lay Dam Road.

Grace Fellowship Pastor Jake McCall and Bro. Ralph Bingham of Through the Grace of God Ministries have invited the public to stop by and have a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

“We know that these times have brought hardship and struggle to many, so if you’ve had a rough week, or month, or couple of years, stop by when it’s most convenient for you and have a hot meal with us,” McCall said. “Regardless of what the weather might be that day, the rec facility will be dry and comfortable, and the food will be good.”

Meals will be served between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
