Pastor D’s Letter November 21, 2021

This Sunday we will dedicate our pledges. Next week we will celebrate Thanksgiving. As I think about Giving Thanks I think about the song by Don Moen released in 1990. We sing it in worship from time to time and it is a great reminder of God’s gift of Himself for which we “Give Thanks”. We don’t usually sing all the verses. We focus on the chorus, which goes like this:

Give thanks with a grateful heart.
Give thanks to the Holy One.
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son.

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Because of what the Lord has done for us.

Give thanks with a grateful heart.
Give thanks to the Holy One.
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son.

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Because of what the Lord has done for us.

Give thanks,
Give thanks.
Give thanks.

As you pause this coming week to “GIVE THANKS” I hope you remember all that God has done for us.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
(Romans 15:13)
Dr. D
