It's Time for Thanksgiving Again

As the holiday season launches into full speed, Pastor Ruthie Seiders invites us to pause — to breathe in the goodness of God and remember the heart behind Thanksgiving. Looking at Paul’s earliest recorded letter, Ruthie explores how the Apostle begins not with updates about his own life, but with gratitude for the people he shepherds. As we gather around tables and step into Advent, may our hearts echo Paul’s words: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances…” (1 Thess. 5:16–18)
