THE FIRST LESSON Deuteronomy 8:7-18
THE SECOND LESSON Luke 17:11-19
SERMON "Who Really Gives Thanks?"
Worship Notes
Today we celebrate the Sunday before Thanksgiving where the theme of giving thanks is central in our worship. The text at the heart of worship is the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers and the only one who returned to give thanks.
Psalm 100, a psalm of thanksgiving, appears in our Call to Worship and proclamation of the Word.
Our Confession lifts up the many ways we fail to give thanks for the gifts bestowed upon us.
Part of our celebration and thanksgiving today is the recognition of new members following the sermon.
In this morning's service, we are given an opportunity to express our thanks by sharing our bounty of food so that others will not have to go hungry.
