We have much to celebrate!!  It is good to recount our blessings and say THANK YOU to God!!  “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” That is the stanza that is repeated over and over in Psalm 136.  This is going to be a bit of a rewrite of Psalm 136 as we rejoice with one another at some of the ways God has blessed us over the last few months at the Church.

 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever;

To him who brought us 7 new households for our online Connections,

For his steadfast loves endures forever;

And who has enabled us to stream our worship services live while meeting in person,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

And who let us have 22 households start a penzu journal and live out being a well,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

And who has kept our preschool open all year without any cases of covid,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

To the one who has blessed us with faithful families who return a tithe to worship God for all his good gifts and support our ministry,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

To him who has brought so many back to in person worship,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

To him who has kept lifeGroups meeting virtually and caring for one another and praying for each other,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

And the one who has taught and deepened the faith of our Higher Ground students,

And brought 5 new babies into the family of God through the waters of baptism,

For his steadfast love endures forever;

And to the one who has sustained and supported those who are struggling and hurting and lonely and sick through His presence and through the love of the body of Christ,

For his steadfast love endures forever and ever. Amen

 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!  We have many, many blessings to celebrate!!
