Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and safe travels for those of you who are on the road. If you are back by Sunday, we will celebrate the first Sunday of Advent together. From there we go straight through to Christmas and Epiphany - three seasons that celebrate that God loves us SO MUCH that, in Jesus, God came to live with us. Watch the FISH site later in the week for Advent updates.
But for now, we focus on thanking God for our blessings. Some have sent photos with their "Blessing Baskets" but I need more to make a good collage. Adults and children both will enjoy this activity: use a simple Blessing Basket (see previous post, below) and ask all who gather to write or draw something for which they are thankful. Then pass around the basket and have each person name their blessing and put their slip of paper in the basket. And take a selfie with the entire family and email it to me!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. See you at church.
