Get Ready to Celebrate Thanksgiving

Remembering all our blessings

In two weeks, we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The whole of our blessed nation, America, is getting ready for all the celebrations.

As we are all aware, Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday of our Blessed nation that originated to celebrate the harvest and other blessings of the past year.

We need to be thankful to God for so many blessings:

  • the blessing of our life
  • the blessing of our health
  • the blessing of our family
  • the blessing of our friends
  • the blessing of our wonderful nation
  • the blessing of our good environment,
  • the blessing of the church
  • the blessing of our faith

We come together to give thanks!

As we come together and celebrate Thanksgiving which is great. Thanksgiving has to be celebrated that way. It’s all about family and family coming together.

We are all family and need to care for each other

Our church is a family. We want to feel that everyone is THE MEMBER OF THIS FAITH FAMILY.

We want to instill that into our families In case for some reason any one of our people is home due to age or any other reason and feels lonely, it’s our church’s responsibility to make them feel that IT’S THEIR HOME. IT IS OUR HOME. Please bring your family and friends and let us all celebrate.

Let us reaffirm that we are all family. We care for everyone and hold each other as family.

With lots of love and blessings,

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
