We often use the Thanksgiving season to reflect on and thank God for our blessings from the past year. So what are you thankful for?

Maybe you are having a hard time coming up with a list of material blessings this year. Stocks are down, unemployment is high—there's just not as much money to go around. Pastor Rolfe Westendorf reminds us that as Christians we still can be content even though our material goods may not be as abundant as in years past.

Are you thankful that God blesses you with a strong faith? Or has the past year tested you and your beliefs? Pastor Don Patterson starts a new Bible study this month that explores the marks of a mature Christian and provides some points to ponder.

Are you so excited about the blessing of forgiveness and the promise of heaven that you're thinking about how you can share the good news? The News section may give you some ideas. It is full of stories of congregations and individuals sharing the gospel with those who don't know about Jesus and the spiritual blessings he gives us through faith.
