All-In Celebration
Sunday, November 16th
5:00 - 7:00pm
Worship Center
Join us on Sunday, November 16th at 5:00pm for dinner and a celebration of our Five Choices; celebrating what it means to be All-In together at Thanksgiving Church. It will be a time to renew our covenant with God and one another, hear about exciting things happening and things to look forward to. In addition to the meal, this fun gathering will include a time of worship and communion.
Children birth through 2nd Grade will eat and have special programming in the lower-level. 3rd Grade and older will attend with parent(s) in the Worship Center.
Space is limited, so make sure to register early! Sign up by no later than Nov 10th.
There is a charge of $5 per person to help offset the cost of the meal, with a maximum charge of $25 per family/household.
Fall Food Shelf Challenge

Help stock the shelves with non-perishable food donations this Fall as Thanksgiving partners with Thrivent to collect items for the Bellevue Food Pantry! Our goal is to collect 500 items between October 12 & November 12th. Thank you for the outstanding response so far! Let’s keep it going!
Donations can be dropped off at the kiosk on the lower level.

NEXT 
Vision Campaign
In order to continue to grow in our mission and vision, Thanksgiving has embarked on a three-year vision campaign called NEXT. Visit the NEXT page for more information. There is still time to participate. The NEXT Guidebook – available in print on campus or online on the NEXT page – is a great resource to learn more about the vision campaign.
Thanksgiving Leadership Academy
We believe that everyone can lead because everyone has influence. As Pastor David referenced in his message on the weekend of September 27-28, the next cohort of the Thanksgiving Leadership Academy will begin in January 2026. This transformative 18-month experience is filled with opportunities to not only grow as a leader, but also to grow as a disciple of Jesus. The number of participants is limited each year. If you would like to learn more about the Leadership Academy or submit an application to be considered for the next cohort, please visit this page.
