It seems fair to say that 2020 has been a hard year for all of us. We understandably seem to be responding to the uncertainty and suffering with angst, anger. The upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday emphasizes being grateful for what we have. Being grateful when life is going well and comfortable seems easy, but what about being grateful during hard times such as many of us in our society are experiencing. This worship service will explore how we can make a regular spiritual practice of gratitude for all that life has to offer. Worship Associate: Solveig Zarubin.
