Thanksgiving Greetings!
Once again, we are nearing that time of year in which we express our Thanksgiving to God. He is truly our provider and source of blessings.
Perhaps you've noticed, as I have, that as soon as October is over and November arrives, we begin to see Christmas decorations immediately go up! While I'm thrilled when Christmas comes, I'm always just a bit sentimental about the importance of Thanksgiving. Even on the first of November, I'm already seeing ads for Black Friday, and also Black Friday seems to start earlier than ever!
Somebody slow down and be thankful!
I'm sending this Thanksgiving Offering Letter as we usually do at some point before Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Sunday, we are looking forward to receiving a special Thanksgiving Offering that assists us as a church to be a blessing.
We are thrilled to have so many with us today who are the first to respond to our call in times of need. While we hope we never have to make that call, it's always comforting to know that help is a matter of minutes away. There have been a few times over the years we've even had to call for help even after gathering here for Church on a Sunday.
