SYNOPSIS
We invite you to come and join us to hear about how “Porky Had It Right!” So close to Thanksgiving, Rev. Scott’s pastoral message helps us point towards gratitude.

Our service leader will be Oracle Hekataios.

Blessed be.

SERMON DESCRIPTION
Rev. Scott writes:

“On this Sunday before the national Thanksgiving holiday, I will be reflecting on the spiritual value of finding “gratitude” in our daily living. Sometimes, under the pressures and problems of human existence, we lose sight of
how very lucky and blessed we are in the first place. Do be with us for this holiday reflection.”
