From Sunday:

Thanksgiving is a holiday we celebrate to remind us to be thankful to God. Last week as we wrapped up the "More Than Enough" sermon series, we talked about how giving to others with a thankful heart leads to a happy life. Our sermon series this month offers practical help at cultivating and nurturing a thankful attitude. As is the case with most virtues, you do not magically become thankful. There are disciplines and habits you can cultivate that can reap a harvest of gratefulness in your life.

Join us for these three Sundays leading up to Thanksgiving as we practice being Thankful and Count Our Blessings.

En Agape',

Rev. Michael Weeks
