Dear Fourth Church,
Thanksgiving affords the perfect opportunity to put David's words in Psalm 9 into practice: "I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." May God receive glory and praise in the coming days as we gather with family and friends to acknowledge his gracious provision.
Notes for this holiday week:
-
Advent at Fourth | See the full schedule below and note two special services this week: Thanksgiving Day Worship Service, Thursday, 10:30 a.m., and the Candlelight Carol Sing this Sunday, November 28, at 6:00 p.m.

Disaster Relief Offering | As Todd shared on Sunday, it is our privilege each Thanksgiving to give to help those affected by natural disasters around the globe. If you give by check, please write "Disaster Relief" on the memo line. To give online, visit 4thpres.org/give, choose "Select Gift Fund", and then "Thanksgiving/Disaster Relief."
Grace to you,
