Grace and peace to you!

Dear Congregation,

Grace and peace to you! This Sunday’s worship service will focus on Thanksgiving as we look forward to the holiday next week. The altar will be decorated with harvest-time vegetables, fruits, and fall flowers. We’ll sing the familiar Thanksgiving hymns and reflect on the words of Deuteronomy 8:7-18, beginning with, “Take care that you do not forget the Lord your God, by failing to keep his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes…”

The sermon title is “Remembering God”. Surely one of the ways it is evident that we remember God is with the actions of our lives. We’ll consider how we can be more intentional about our thanks-living each day amid all the challenges of today’s world.

I hope you’ll be present in worship and will also attend our Messy Church Dinner in Kelsey Hall at 4 p.m. Thanksgiving is the theme there also with crafts, table talk, dinner, and a reflection on the benefits of expressing gratitude.

Please know that I am thankful for each of you and for all you do for CCC out of love for God.

Thanksgiving Blessings!

In Christ’s love,

Pastor Candy
