A Healthy & Safe way to Celebrate Thanksgiving during a pandemic begins at The New Bethel Church KCK with FREE Household Groceries, Turkeys, Cleaning Supplies, COVID-19 Tests & Flu Shots… All on Saturday, November 21st from 12PM-2PM!

Due to the rise in positive COVID cases across the metro and throughout the country, Pastor Brady has been consistent with our local health officials to encourage household gatherings for the holidays instead of large family dinners. We also understand that many have been financially impacted due to the pandemic and putting food on the table has been far more difficult for families this year. For these reasons, we want to make sure everyone in our community and within the congregation has everything needed for a hearty Thanksgiving meal and direct access to Covid-19 testing and flu shots.
