Call To Worship:
Psalm 89:1-2;11;14-16; Psalm 34:1-3
I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever;
With my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.
I declare that your steadfast love is established forever;
Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours;
you founded the world and all that is in it.
Call to worship
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.
They rejoice in your name all day long;
they celebrate your righteousness.
I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the LORD;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together!

Communion/Gratitude Discussion
Pass the bread and juice to everyone at the table
This time of year tends to cause us to pause and think on the things we are grateful & thankful for. It is a season where we are more aware of the things we have, both the tangible and intangible things.
Gratitude and Thankfulness are important ways we worship Jesus. All over the Bible are passages that describe how the posture of our lives toward God should be one of gratitude for all good things come from him.
All month we will be worshiping through Gratitude & Thankfulness. As we think of our lives, let’s chose to find ways to show gratitude to King Jesus!
At your Tables:
Begin to work your way through the list below, answering what you are grateful for in each question.
What is a song you are grateful for?
What is a smell you love?
What is a memory you are grateful for?
What season do you love?
What is something you are grateful for about where you live?
A person in your family you are grateful for?
Something in nature you love?
What is something that made you laugh?
A life lesson you are grateful you learned
A book, podcast, etc. you are thankful for?
Take a minute and write 1 card to someone you are grateful for. Tell them why you are grateful for them. Either deliver it to them this week or send it to them in the mail.
Read Colossians 3:12-15 Together
What are the main ideas you hear in this passage?
There are 10 things Paul calls the church to be. What are they?
The final thing he tells them is to be thankful. It kind of feels like he tacks it on at the very end, like he forgot about it.
Why would it be important to add “thankfulness” at the end of a list that includes, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and love?
how will you show gratitude this month?
Someone at the table pray and take communion together
Benediction:
1 Peter 2:9-10; Ephesians 3:20-21
Now you are a chosen people,
a royal priesthood,
a holy nation,
God’s special possession,
May you go forth to declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness and into his wonderful light.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
