Dear (name):

I’ve decided to celebrate Thanksgiving a bit differently this year and I hope you can join me. I’m inviting you and a few other friends over to my place (date and time) for refreshments and conversation about food, where it comes from and who provides it. People of faith all over the country are going to be coming together about the same time to talk about life in rural America. We’ll be part of that larger conversation.

Please RSVP by (date).

Please try to join me.
