Thanksgiving

The original harvest festival of Thanksgiving has grown over the years into a great national day of thanks for all the good God has done for us as individuals and as a nation.
One of the greatest gifts we enjoy on this day is the freedom to give thanks in public worship.

The debt of gratitude we owe for God's faithful love can be repaid only in a two-sided coin:
turning to God in thanksgiving and
doing for others what has been done for us.

O Father of Goodness,
we thank you each one for
happiness,
healthiness,
friendship
and fun,
for good things we think of,
and good things we do,
and all that is beautiful, loving and true.
Amen.
