We’re going out on a limb here. The Worship Team at Discipleship Ministries remains committed to
providing resources for lectionary worship on a regular basis. We will continue to do so as we move
toward Advent of Year B in a few weeks. But as we were planning for the end of Year A, we believe
that we were led by the Spirit to do something a little different for these last three weeks. So,
we are temporarily stepping away from the lectionary to provide a short worship series on
“Gratitude.”
This is the Last service of a 3 service Worship Series from the Discipleship Ministries.The graphics at the top of this page list the topics for the services of the Series.

This Service's Theme: "After Giving Thanks"
Liturgical Resources
If the Sunday before Thanksgiving invited us to look at the community and the family that
surrounds us, this Sunday encourages us to look up to the Christ as we give thanks for the kingdom
he asks us to see and to lean into.
