Almost 500 years ago, a group of Pilgrims set forth to a new country, to find a new way of life, a new way to practice their faith. And in that harsh, new environment, they saw fit to draw near their neighbors and friends to join them in giving thanks to God for their safe delivery, the fruits of their labor and their safety.
And today, we gather this season for the same reasons – to give thanks for our safety and the blessings and grace of God in each of our lives.
