The Christian message at Thanksgiving is both easier and harder than we imagine. Paul puts it this way. “Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Eph 5:19 - 20) Singing, making music, and giving thanks are not hard tasks. The Lord doesn’t ask us to feed all the hungry or fix poverty.

At the same time, he says do it “from the heart”. Saying “thanks” doesn’t count if we don’t have a deep, living conviction of thanksgiving.

Join me in generating both the heart and the activity of Thanksgiving this year.

Kingdom Thanksgivings

As a group of believers, we are especially glad to give thanks for what we call “kingdom thanksgivings”. Kingdom thanksgivings are the gospel-related work God is up to among us. It’s what he does with his good news of forgiveness and life.

This year we invite all our friends and neighbors to share their thanksgivings

• add a postcard at church to our “kingdom thanksgivings” wall

• Email your kingdom thanksgiving to church@peaceotsego.org, text to 269-694-6104, or reach us on social media and we’ll add it to the wall
