Kingston Episcopal Parish, Mathews, will hold its community Thanksgiving dinner, serving meals from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., following the church’s 10:30 a.m. service at the parish house on Main Street.

The members of Living Waters Church in Dutton will be delivering meals this year to those in need in Mathews, Gloucester and Middlesex counties between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Those who would like to have meals delivered are asked to contact Living Waters as soon as possible to give church members enough lead time to prepare the turkeys; by Monday if at all possible.
