We had a great Thanksgiving worship service and special time of giving thanks in Sunday school this morning. It was a very meaningful way for us to begin our Thanksgiving celebration!!

For giving thanks.  1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.  2 Worship the LORD with gladness;        come before him with joyful songs.  3 Know that the LORD is God.        It is he who made us, and we are his        we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving        and his courts with praise;        give thanks to him and praise his name.  5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;        his faithfulness continues through all generations. We all have so much for which to be thankful.  I pray that you all have a wonderful time of thanksgiving with family and friends this holiday!
