Thanksgiving Service - November 29th
A portion of time during our 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services on November 29th will be set aside for you to share some of the ways in which you’re grateful to God. To help frame that time of public sharing, here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Please keep your sharing clear and succinct so that others will also have the opportunity to speak.
- If you have a child who would like to share, please ask them to share with you in advance and then accompany them to the microphone.
- Please only share one time.
- Please primarily offer your thanks to God as the giver of all good gifts. If you’d like to thank a spouse, family member, or a volunteer at the church, please find them after the service and express your gratitude.
