Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His love endures forever.
Ps.107:1

Dear friends in Christ:

What a blessing it has been for Dennis and me to worship with you this year. Every week, I yearn for Sunday when the church is alive with pre-service chatter, choral voices, the ringing of chimes, the smiles of the greeters and the focus of our tech team! How blessed we are at St. George’s! How blessed we are to be part of a community that puts faith into action every day! How blessed we are to see the rhythm of God’s creation in the changing of the seasons and especially in the brilliant colours of autumn. How blessed we are to live in a country where we can move freely, speak openly, and worship without fear.

Thanksgiving is family time – a time to gather together to thank God for all that is good in our life. Thanks-GIVING is a time when we express our gratitude to our Lord by giving generously to those we don’t know but who need our help. Every donation to our community outreach programs goes to help those who struggle with the costs of food and the challenges of daily living. God loves a cheerful giver and God loves you! And I want to thank you for your generosity throughout the year and during this Thanksgiving season to the ministry of St. George’s and our many outreach efforts.

As Dennis and I sit down for our thanksgiving dinner with lots of veggies and pumpkin pie, we will thank God for you – a parish family that is prayerful, hopeful, joyful and compassionate. And for all this, we say!

THANKS BE TO GOD! ALLELUIA!

Please join us at our Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, October 13th at 10:30 a.m..

The Reverend Dr. Connie Phillipson
