CJ and I wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving. We are mindful of the goodness of God in our lives and in the lives of those whom we love. We are also grateful especially to God for you and this parish community, and the many kindnesses shown throughout the year. We acknowledge, too, that for some Thanksgiving will be hard for whatever reason – maybe it is a lonely time, or a time when there’s an empty place at the dining room table, or it is a season when financial pressures are particularly challenging. Holidays can be like that. We want to hold space for you, too. Perhaps Thursday’s 10 am Eucharist can provide that sense of community when we come together to sing and pray the Lord’s blessings. And always, we hold out hope that the Great Thanksgiving awaits!
We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored
He has done great things, we will say together
We will feast and weep no more
