Tonight at 7:00 We'll join the local Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Methodist congregations for a Thanksgiving Eve service at Central Kitsap Presbyteran Church. We'll have a combined choir, liturgical dancers, a trumpet ensemble, a bell choir, holy communion, lots of cookies...and I'll be preaching.
I'll be talking about gratitude as a spiritual practice, remembering some of the times I've failed to be grateful and thinking about ways to slow down and look at what we have. The scripture text is the story of the ten lepers healed by Jesus in Luke 17. Only one of them stops and realizes what God has done for him. Stopping, I'll suggest, is the key to gratitude.
Everyone is invited to bring a non-perishable food offering for the Central Kitsap Food Bank. Sounds like a good event.
