Thanksgiving
is just around the corner. That means (as the video reminded us) family,
football, and a lot of food. Thanksgiving is also the time where we make a
special effort to share what we are thankful for in our lives. Last week
Reverend Licia and I shared some of the things we are grateful for in our
ministries at All Saints and this week we would like to ask you to do the
same...
What are you
thankful for at All Saints'? What event or program or group at All Saints'
allows you to use your gifts and talents to glorify God? What do you love about
being part of this community?
I know that
we can't hear your responses as you are reading this, but chances are your
answers to these questions have some similarities with one another. We are
thankful for our friends at All Saints', we are thankful for a church that
allows us to get to know God, we are thankful for the programs for ourselves and
all of the members of our families.
All of the
things that we are thankful for at All Saints' are only possible because of the
people who have been or are members of this community. It is through our
financial pledging and giving that we are able to support all of the programs
that makes All Saints'...well, All Saints'. This Sunday is Commitment Sunday,
which is when our annual pledge campaign formally comes to an end (though we
welcome pledges at any time!). If your family has not turned in a pledge form
yet, please do so this Sunday by placing it in the offering plate. All of our
pledges matter, whether big or small, to the work of God here at All
Saints'.
Thank
you,
The Reverends
(Lauren & Licia)
