Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday for the Christian especially. We look back at the original Thanksgiving and its focus on thanking God. Our guest explains the two kinds of Puritans (separating and non-separating). The Pilgrims which came to New England in 1620 were Separatists. We take a look at the Indians, and especially Tisquantum ("Squanto"), who was of the Patuxet tribe. He spoke fluent English, and became an interpreter and guide to the Pilgrim settlers at Plymouth during their first winter. Squanto basically became the Pilgrim's liaison. God used Squanto to help them through the first year. Consider that one half of the population of the area had died, and yet they met to give thanks to God. Participants: Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
