Thanksgiving Sunday
Sunday, November 19, 2023, 10 am
Children’s Time “Most Beautiful Words You Can Utter” Pastor John
Choir Anthem Praise Ye the Lord (based on Psalm 106:1)
Words : Elsie Duncan Yale & Henry Downton, Music: Stewart Landon
Introducing the tune “Posen” by George C. Strattner
Message “A Meaning Behind ‘Thank You’ ” Rev. John Song
We will investigate a deep theological and spiritual meaning behind the words “Thank You”.
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order,
confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.”
~ Melody Beattie
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘Thank you,’ that would suffice.”
~ Meister Eckhart, the 14th century German mystic and theologian
