Pastor’s Note
Both Psalm 107 and 136 are great psalms of thanksgiving to God and for God. Ps 107:1 says: “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.” And verse 8 states: “Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men…” NIV As Christians, as God’s children, we have a unique reason for giving thanks. The graciousness of God is not only incredible in light of the fact that He loved us “while we were yet sinners” but that His love and goodness is an unfailing promise for all of eternity. We can and should be thankful for “things, stuff, provisions and possessions” but we also can and should be thankful for the intangible, immeasurable things that are ours because of our relationship with the Sovereign, Holy, Creator God who is now through Christ our Father. “Give thanks…for His love endures forever” (Psalm 136).

Youth Notes
In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Th. 5:18 NASB). This is a very special time of year. It is a time to come together with family and friends and do exactly what the Lord wants us to do: Give Thanks. I want to encourage each of you to remember to do that this Thanksgiving. It is often so easy to become overwhelmed with the “to do list” of the season and forget to remember what times like these are really all about. A wise woman once told me as she was passing into eternity with Jesus, that there is always something to be thankful for and I would have to agree that there most certainly is. I would ask that you pray a special prayer for our students this time of year as well. For many of them, the things to be thankful for are seemingly harder to come by than most of us, and that is why we as a church do the things that we do. I ask that as the Lord leads you to do so, remember our students by name in your prayers. Kendra and I are so thankful for this church and the people that God has placed in it. May you all be blessed this holiday season.

The limit for each gift is $25. I am expecting to have around 40 people that will need adopting. Thank you for loving these children and their families,
