Before Service Prayer: Dear Savior, how many blessings You have given me-this free land, my home and family, my health and strength! But even if I should lose them all, I still have You, my greatest blessing. Amen.
As We Gather: Pray, Praise, and Give Thanks Thanksgiving Day has a high and great meaning for us as Christians, for thanksgiving is grateful acknowledgement for the past and present mercies of God. We have so much for which to thank God - the Word He gives us, which is the living voice of our Lord. Through water and his Word of God, we are brought into His kingdom in Holy Baptism. The spiritual nourishment that renews our strength for the daily tasks of this life comes in the Sacrament of the Altar, where we receive the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. This is our purpose tonight - to pray, praise and give thanks. The foundation of our life, including our prayers, is Jesus Christ. This means that our giving of thanks goes far beyond Thanksgiving Day into every day of our lives. We are compelled to give thanks because of the mercy of Jesus Christ.
