In our service on the Sunday before Thanksgiving 2025, we look at the origins of Thanksgiving, when those first Pilgrims landed in America seeking a place where they were free to worship as their consciences dictated. They faced many challenges, losses, and heartaches, yet they never lost their faith in God. They established Thanksgiving as a special day once a year when they would give thanks to God for all His good works. We would do well to follow their example.
