Gratitude Sunday

As a part of our Capital Campaign our church celebrated "Gratitude Sunday."  It was day to remember all of the things that God has done for us, and to think about what we are willing to give back to God.


Gratitude Sunday also happened to be World Communion Sunday.  We celebrated with a beautifully decorated altar.  There were different types of bread from around the world and some fall gourds.


The entrance to the church was also beautifully decorated with cornstalks and pumpkins.


During the service we wrote the things that we are grateful for on a card and placed them in the basket at the front of the church.





We started a devotional as we began the journey through the campaign.


The youth group worked on a big project.  They made a wall that featured all sorts of information and pictures about Grace Church through the years.  



Everyone had a great time looking at the pictures, reminiscing about days gone by and dreaming about all of the great things to come!



Have you ever celebrated gratitude at your church?  How did you do it?
