Thoughts from Pastor Eilidh

Thanks!

We have been celebrating our gratitude all month long by remembering the saints, reflecting on the wisdom we have acquired, and rejoicing in the gift of sacred spaces. There is so much more to rejoice in, so many more things from the places we live, to the people in our lives, to the memories that shape us, to a good cup of coffee for us to celebrate.  This week in worship we'll be using the leaf sticky notes to write down words of gratitude for all the things and people and places that bless our life. Together we will make a cascade of leaves of gratitude on the windows in the back of the sanctuary. This is also the week to submit our pledge cards as another sign of our gratitude for all the gifts we have from God.  You can find the online pledge card here or fill out a printed card at church.
Together we honor God's goodness in our lives with thanksgiving and praise!
 
Blessings,
 
Pastor Eilidh
