This November, we embark on a special journey together, designating this month as our “Month of Gratitude.” In a world often filled with haste and anxiety, God calls us to a different rhythm—one of reflection and thankfulness. The Psalmist declares, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (Psalm 107:1).
Throughout this month, we will intentionally:
- Focus on What God Has Done: We will redirect our attention from our challenges to God’s unchanging character and His past faithfulness, trusting that He who was faithful remains faithful today.
- Cultivate a Grateful Heart: Gratitude is not just a feeling; it is a spiritual discipline. We will actively practice thankfulness in our prayers, our worship, and our conversations.
- Respond in Worship and Service: A heart full of thanks naturally overflows into praise and action. Our gratitude will be expressed not only in our words but also in our generosity towards God and one another.
We invite every member and family to join us in this purposeful focus. Let’s fill November with testimonies of praise, prayers of thanksgiving, and acts of kindness that flow from a heart truly grateful for God’s immeasurable gifts.
Gratitude for God’s Character: Thanking God not just for what He gives, but for who He is—His love, mercy, sovereignty, and faithfulness.
