Call to Worship One: O, give thanks unto the Lord! All: Because God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good! One: O, give thanks unto the Lord! All: Because He has prepared a table before us – and our cups overflow. One: O, give thanks unto the Lord! All: Whose generosity is seen in the abundance of the season. One: O, give thanks unto the Lord! All: We worship our soon-coming king with thanksgiving! With glad and grateful hearts, we rejoice! Hallelujah! Amen!

The Spoken Word “THANK YOU!!” Psalm 100:1-5 (MSG) Speaker: Ms. Wendi Peterson Sermon Notes Key Scriptures:   Romans 12:9 (NLT) – “Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.” Philippians 4:6 (KJV) – “… be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLV) – In everything give thanks. This is what God wants you to do because of Christ Jesus..

Sermon Notes Key Questions: 1. Being thankful seems like a no brainer. Then why do you think it’s mentioned so many times in scripture? 2. Is saying thank you really enough? 3. What would our lives be like if thanksgiving were practiced every single day? ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________
