Celebrating the Meaning of Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday! A day to reflect over the past year about how good God has been to you and your family in providing food, shelter, health, and hope. But these days, too many people let the other more commercial holidays push it aside. Too often Thanksgiving gets squeezed out by Halloween's spooky decorations and the lights and gala of Christmas. Let's take a moment to give Thanksgiving the recognition it deserves and pause to think about the meaning of the holiday.

Thanksgiving is not just about giving thanks; it's also about giving to those who are in need. A great way to show gratitude for our blessings is to share them with others. Right now, there are many people who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. What better way to illustrate the meaning of the season than by giving!

There are many ways that you can help support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts including donating cash, sending food and other goods, and even shopping. Please take a moment from your Thanksgiving celebrations to share a message of support.
