Now Thank We All Our God!

As summer gives way to fall, we see the fields bringing forth the last of their harvest, It always reminds me of the words of a hymn:

We plow the fields and scatter  the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered  by God’s almighty hand.
God sends the snow in winter,  the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes, and the sunshine,  and soft refreshing rain.

All good gifts around us are sent from heav’n above.
We thank you, God, we thank you, God, for all your love.

Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the 2nd Monday in October. Our American friends celebrate it the 4th Thursday of November. God’s people rejoice to have a day that we do focus on giving our thanks to God for each and every blessing. Yet each day is a time of thanks, for as the psalmist reminds us: “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!” (Psalm 118:1, ESV)
It really isn’t about celebrating in either October or November. We celebrate both, and all the days in between and all the days until the next Thanksgiving. God has blessed us. He speaks His life-giving Word to assure us of His forgiveness and grace. He provides us with all we need to support this body and life.

We invite you to join us in giving thanks to God for all His good and perfect gifts. We invite you to share with us in those gifts through His service to us in His Church. Come and share in the hope and joy that fills us in Christ. We invite you to join us in that glorious life, and in that hope we have in Christ. We gather to be fed by His Word, and to know His presence in our life.

In Bible Study, and in Divine Worship, we come to the Lord who came for us, and who lives for us. He invites you, and we do, too!

We worship Sundays at 10:15 am, and Wednesdays at 6:30 pm. Bible study is at 9:00 am.
