Local churches open their kitchens during Thanksgiving

Amanda Parkinson carries boxes of stuffing mix to the St. Peter Roman Catholic Church kitchen last year at Thanksgiving. For more than 20 years, Butler Area Catholic Parishes have served free Thanksgiving meals.

Turkey, bread and pies promote fellowship, according to the Rev. Bob Hurd.

“Church is what we do all week long,” said Hurd, lead pastor at Whitestown Road Baptist Church. “One thing God called us to do is have fellowship together and break bread.”

For its seventh year, the church is hosting its free community Thanksgiving meal at noon Sunday. For more information, visit
