YOUR HELP IS NEEDED -- Anthony J. Sims Ministries has announced that on Saturday, Nov. 22, they will be handing out food at the Celebration Outreach Center, South Harper Street in Laurens. Since Covid, they have changed from having folks gather for a meal to providing families with the groceries they need to prepare a great Thanksgiving meal at home - they distributed 215 turkeys and 185 bags of groceries last year. But, this does not happen without help. If you are moved and able to help, make checks payable to Rev. Anthony Sims and send them to 432 S. Livingston St., Clinto, SC 29325. Any amount will assist this effort and will be appreciated.
Thanksgiving and Christmas meals
The New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church houses the Soup Kitchen of Laurens County. We do mass feeding for people every year during Thanksgiving and Christmas. We do this work to honor the command of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry and to take care of those in need. Some of the businesses in Laurens County have gone beyond the call of duty to help us. We are very grateful. Last year, on Thanksgiving and Christmas, we fed over 1,500 people. We are hoping to increase this amount this year. Prices of food are higher than ever, and the price continues to rise; however, we are commanded by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to feed the hungry. We aree asking for your help to accomplish our goal this year for Thanksgiving on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, and for Christmas on Monday, December 22, 2025. Our menu consists of turkey and dressing, rice and gravy, macaroni and cheese casserole, green beans, cranberry sauce, roll, and dessert. Napkins, plastic forks, spoons, knives and covered plates are needed, as well. We also need volunteers to engage in this divine work. We will serve Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 25 and Christmas dinner on Monday, Dec. 22, beginning at 10 a.m. at New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church located at 24277 Highway 76 East, Clinton, South Carolina. We thank you in advance for your help and ask God’s blessings upon you. The church is tax exempt under the Internal Revenue Service Code 501-C-3. The South Carolina Baptist Convention files for a group exemption for its churches on an annual basis and our group exemption number is 1651.
