God of the journey, guide our path.
This Advent – Christmas season may we rediscover Emmanuel,
God-with-Us. Amen.

For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies…
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

Thanksgiving is a special time of year for many, an opportunity for us to pause and to give thanks. Sometimes it is easier to say “thank you” and other times it is harder to speak these words. In the midst of difficult experiences our pause may be deep. May you find a way to speak, sing, or silently offer a word or expression of thanksgiving.

God is with us!
We are never alone!
Thanks be to God!
