As winter darkness crosses the land, the nation takes time to offer thanks for the harvest and the abundant resources of this land. Even though this holiday witnesses many households gathering for a festive meal, Christians recognize that the source of all good things is the God who feeds the birds and clothes the grass of the field. Gathered at Christ's supper, we offer thanksgiving for the bread of life and the cup of blessing. And, as we share these gifts, we are knit together into a community whose mission is among the poor and those in need. We offer thanks to God for the bounty of the land and seek to share those riches with all in need.

Plan to attend Thanksgiving Eve worship on Wednesday, November 21 at 7:00 p.m. as we join together to thank God for all our blessings. This year we will be joined by members of Bethel Evangelical Church, including their choir.

The church office will be closed on Friday, November 23rd.

“ Now thank we all our God with hearts and hands and voices,
Who wonderous things hath done, in whom this world rejoices;
Who, from our mothers' arms, hath blest us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.”
Hymn #534, Lutheran Book of Worship
