First Baptist Church Elizabethton, 212 East F St., was a very busy place on Thanksgiving Day, as the church provided a record number of free Thanksgiving meals this year – nearly 1,600 – during their annual Feast of Sharing.
The church not only provided Thanksgiving meals for delivery, dine-in or take out from 11-12:30, they also offered a coat closet for those needing a warm jacket or coat. Lisa Bunn served as this year’s Feast of Sharing chairman. First Baptist Church Elizabethton’s pastor is Pastor Todd Hallman.
