At times, the spirit and intention of celebrating Plymouth, the historical Thanksgiving feast that occurred there in 1621, and significant individuals involved are misunderstood. For StoneBridge, the keyword to remember is “HONOR.”

• We HONOR God! We honor His PROVIDENCE and provision for us. We learn the ways He provided for the Pilgrims via many means, but primarily through the native people that were on these lands prior to their arrival. We choose to remember, a biblical command throughout scripture, the many ways God provided a land for us as the setting for our lives and our numerous other blessings.

• We HONOR Him for providing a means of salvation and godly influences in our lives that have modeled and lead us in His commands.

• We HONOR the native people. Without the providential preparation of Squanto, the Pilgrims would NOT have survived. Learn his story. Compare it to that of Joseph in the Bible. It is a critical element of the story and why we are grateful!

• We HONOR our forefathers who sacrificed tremendously with a sincere desire to uphold truth and perpetuate the gospel, without which people perish. God has indeed blessed us with a heritage of Godly influence. The foundation of God’s word has provided liberty for us to teach our children and worship in accordance with our faith.

We remember the habit or tradition people have had throughout History of thanking God after a time of fasting and prayer in recognition of answered prayers, God’s provision and protection and His many blessings despite our weakness and shortcomings.

There is a line from the song "Million Little Miracles" by Maverick City Music: “I hope I never get over what You’ve done.” This embodies the spirit of our special day. REMEMBER what the Lord has done for us. We HONOR Him with grateful hearts for all He has done for us!

ALUMNI FESTIVITIES: Friday, January 6

Join our Homecoming Spirit Day and White-Out Day wearing this year's athletic "Live to Win" t-shirt (see below)! The day starts with check-in for Alumni at 1 p.m., prior to our Homecoming Pep Rally at 1:30 p.m. Stay for fun afterward at a special Alumni Social Hour from 2:45-3:45 p.m. From 4-6 p.m, Homecoming festivities will include a cornhole tournament, food trucks, fire pits with s'mores, games and more!

Our Homecoming Spirit Day, January 6, will be a White-Out Day featuring the athletic theme of the year "Live to Win" t-shirt! The theme is based on 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, which expresses the idea that we have an opportunity every day to win or lose for the Kingdom of God. Because we strive to win an imperishable crown for Christ, the way that we "train and compete" makes a difference.

The "Live to Win" T-shirts are available for purchase online for $15.50 and now includes youth sizes! Purchase the t-shirt below by December 9 to ensure you have one for our White Out Day on January 6!
