Thank You Lord!
There Is Always Something To Be Thankful For...
**** *** *** *** ***
A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
**** *** *** *** ***
Lord, so often times, as any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray
We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing
We're slaves to the olfactory overload
We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold
But Lord, I'd like to take a few minute more
To really give thanks to what I'm thankful for
For my family, my health, a nice soft bed
My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head
I'm thankful right now to be surrounded by those
Whose lives touch me more than they'll ever possibly know
Thankful Lord, that You've blessed me beyond measure
Thankful that in my heart lives life's greatest treasure
That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place
And I'm ever so grateful for Your unending grace
So please, heavenly Father, bless this food You've provided
And bless each and every person invited - Amen!

November 30 - The First Sunday of Advert
Advent: The Season of Anticipation and Hope!
**********************************************************************
The word Advent means "coming" or"arrival." The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the
birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent, and the anticipation of the
return of Christ the King in his Second Advent.
The spirit of Advent
is expressed well in the parable of the bridesmaids who are anxiously awaiting
the coming of the Bridegroom (Matt 25:1-13).
There is profound joy at the Bridegroom’s expected coming. And yet a warning of the need for preparation echoes through the parable.
Advent Dates for 2014
