ThankFULL More or Less - Blessing
Gratitude, or thankfulness, is considered by many as the "forgotten" virtue. Our understanding of gratitude is reflected in what, when, and how much we give to God and to others. Whether we are MORE thankful or LESS thankful depends on our view of ownership, our response to God's blessings, and is evidenced in our expressions of worship. Join us during this season of thanksgiving as we strive to be ThankFULL in all we do.
