November 2024

Dear Kingsway Family,

November is a Season of Gratitude and a time to Embrace Thanksgiving Together. This time of year offers us a chance to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the blessings in our lives—big and small. And as followers of Christ, we are encouraged not only to be thankful but to make gratitude a defining part of our daily lives.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul writes, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” This verse reminds us that gratitude is not just reserved for moments of abundance but is a way to honor God even in difficult seasons. We give thanks not because everything is perfect, but because God is good, faithful, and present with us always.

WT Purkiser wrote the following: “Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” Thus, there is a strong connection between "our blessings" and "our thanksgiving". During this month of Thanksgiving, I encourage you to take time to reflect on what you are grateful for, and to share that gratitude with those around you. Whether it’s through a kind word, a prayer, or a simple act of service, let’s make this a season where our thankfulness shines brightly in our homes, our church, and our community.

“If you can manage to be thankful in every situation, really believing that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with the victory every single time.” - Joyce Meyers

“THANKSGIVING = THANKS + GIVING! THUS, GIVING THANKS”. - Dr Anthony Jacobs

On Sunday, the 1st of December 2024, we will be bringing our thanksgiving offerings. In Psalms‬ ‭116:16-17‬ ‭we read: “O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.” Prayerfully, determine in your heart what you are going to give as a thanksgiving seed.

Also make sure you don't miss out on our annual Christmas production, the 8th of December 2024, during our morning service entitled: "His Story".
