Together, may we rejoice in His love and share the spirit of gratitude with one another and our community.

A Prayer for Thanksgiving
In every season of life—through joy and challenge, certainty and doubt—this prayer reminds us of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness. As we gather in gratitude, may these words anchor our hearts and lift our spirits in trust and thanksgiving.
God, You are faithful and good.
As we look back and as we look forward;
God, You are faithful and good.
In our joys and in our sorrows;
God, You are faithful and good.
When we are sure and when we are unsteady;
God, You are faithful and good.
When we are rested and when we are stretched;
God, You are faithful and good.
In all, and through all, and for all;
God, You are faithful and good.
As we look back and as we look forward;
God, You are faithful and good.
