Resources for your Thanksgiving Celebration

We are pleased to offer these PDF resources to enhance your Thanksgiving celebration.

• Traditional, liturgical, family devotion for Thanksgiving
• Modern, casual, family time of thankfulness with a short closing prayer
• Thanksgiving Trivia Sheet (15 questions, answers at the bottom)
• The Great Thanksgiving Question Game (a getting to know each other kind of game... it's fun!)

If you'd just like a prayer you can use at the Thanksgiving table, here's one:

Heavenly Father, you created us in love to be in fellowship with you. Though sin broke that relationship of love and trust, you have restored it through your promised Messiah, your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank you for welcoming us home into your presence of love and peace. We recognize that You are the ultimate provider of the food we are about to receive, and for this food, we offer You our gratitude. We also recognize those who have worked to prepare this meal in any way. We ask that you give them the blessings of their service to us, that all those partaking today appreciate the time and energy they have put into this meal. Now, Father, we ask you to bless the food we are about to receive, that it would nourish and strengthen us to serve you with our lives until we share that glorious and eternal banquet which you have prepared for us through your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.
