Let Us Give Thanks

While November marks a celebration of thanksgiving in the U.S., finding time to thank God is part of our daily discipline as United Methodists.

This video meditation features a shortened version of a prayer of thanksgiving.

You are encouraged to share or download this video to use in Sunday School classes, before or during worship, or with your friends and family.
