Thanksgiving Sunday November 23, 2025Sermon: The Rules of ThanksgivingScripture: Philippians 4:4-7What does it really mean to live with a grateful heart—not just in a season of thanksgiving, but every day? This Sunday, we’re diving into The Rules of Thanksgiving through Paul’s encouraging words in Philippians 4:4–7. He reminds us that joy, prayer, and peace aren’t dependent on our circumstances—they’re practices that shape our lives in Christ.As you prepare for worship, take a moment to reflect:What does rejoicing in the Lord look like in your daily life?How might prayer and gratitude reshape the way you handle worry or stress?In what ways is God inviting you to experience His peace more deeply?Join us as we explore how thanksgiving is far more than a holiday—it’s a way of life rooted in God’s presence and promiseSunday Worship Schedule 8:45 AM – Contemporary Worship 10:00 AM – Sunday School 11:00 AM – Traditional Worship
