This Sunday we will gather to celebrate and give thanks by sharing the rich and full gifts and experiences of Gatherers, so come ready to share and enjoy readings, poems, art work, scripture, stories, etc, about different experiences and meanings of Thanksgiving.
As is our practice, we will share hospitality and a meal with others - but with a twist. Instead of having a large Thanksgiving dinner together, we will have a minimal meal of soup and crackers Sunday night. If you have a crock pot and want to bring soup, do so, or bring a can of something and we will mix the various cans together and have "hobo" soup. But here's the deal: so that we can share the traditional Thanksgiving dinner with others, we'll donate Thanksgiving food items to the Concho Valley Area Food Bank. So please bring Thanksgiving staple items such as cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, green beans, yams, cake mix, etc., and we'll gratefully share our abundance with others via the Food Bank.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into God's presence with singing. Enter God's gates with thanksgiving, and the courts with praise. Give thanks to God. For the Lord is good; God's steadfast love endures for ever, and Divine faithfulness to all generations.--Psalm 100:1-2, 4-5
The generosity of God in sharing the goodness of creation with us can elicit only one possible response - that of gratitude.--Esther de Waal
