NOVEMBER
Monday, November 18
A Night of Giving Thanks
Macy’s, Meditations and More
Macy’s Parade is a lot of fun, and gathering with folks around a feast creates wonderful memories. Thanksgiving, though, is more than a harvest festival. We will explore the celebration as a secular holiday and a Christian expression of gratitude to God Almighty. You will come away with a better understanding of prayer, some great new ideas for table talk, and maybe even a recipe or two! Get ready for snacks!

Bethlehem Story 3: The Shepherd’s Sister
We don’t often hear from the women of Bethlehem, but they have much to say about the excitement of a new baby! These one-act monologues are a fun and revealing way to explore the birth of Jesus from the perspective of three Bethlehem women. Followed by a table discussion, fellowship and even snacks, this is an evening the whole family will enjoy!
