11/30/25 Thanksgiving Fellowship Lunch and Gratitude Service
(No Zoom for this service”
Consider joining us for a time of good food, time of gratitude, and thanksgiving immediately following the morning service.
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving
Have a blessed Thanksgiving – No Zoom Bible Study this evening – Plan to attend our Thanksgiving Fellowship Dinner this Sunday following the Morning Service.
“It is good to give thanks to the LORD And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night” – Psalm 92:1-2
“It is a great discipline to praise the Lord daily. Here the psalmist says to declare His love in the morning. In doing so we recognize everything that happens during the day is motivated by His love for us (good and bad). In the evening thank Him for His faithfulness during the day.
Today is a good time to apply the truth of this verse to your prayer time.” Kay Arthur
Happy Thanksgiving !

Learning Contentment at the Foot of the Cross
by J.C. Ryle
Would I learn how to be contented and cheerful under all the cares
and anxieties of life? What school shall I go to?
How shall I attain this state of mind most easily?
Shall I look at the sovereignty of God, the wisdom of God,
the providence of God, the love of God?
It is well to do so; but I have a better argument still.
I will look at Calvary and the crucifixion.
I feel that He who spared not His only begotten Son but delivered
Him up to die for me, will surely with Him give me
all things that I really need.
He that endured that pain for my soul, will surely not
withhold from me anything that is really good.
He that has done the greater things for me,
will doubtless do the lesser things also.
He that gave His own blood to procure me a home,
will unquestionably supply me with all that is really profitable for
me by the way. Ah, reader, there is no school for l
earning contentment that can be compared
with Calvary and the foot of the cross.
Thanksgiving & Idolatry
Jeffrey Stivason
Idolatry is when we replace the giver with the gift. Idolatry is when we offer our thanks to the thing rather than the one who gave it. Idolatry turns thanksgiving into a selfish holiday that promotes my joy in a thing rather than deepens my relationship with a person. A Christian Thanksgiving is indeed a counter-cultural event. It reminds us that we are to be thankful, most of all, to the Triune God who has given to us the most blessed gift of all, His only begotten Son, that in Him we might have life.
