With Gratitude and Thanksgiving YOU'RE INVITED        

Join in worship this Sunday for our special Ingathering worship and blessing of donations to the Danvers People to People Food Pantry. We gather to sing and pray, break open scripture and bless the gifts we offer in gratitude for God's bountiful harvest so that all may be nourished.  We are collecting non-perishable donations and $15 & $25 grocery gift cards through November 24th, donations can also be dropped off at the church during office hours M-TH 9-2pm.  May Our Gifts Multiply!   with gratitude, Pastor Pam

Gratitude is not a passive response to something we have been given, gratitude arises from paying attention, from being awake in the presence of everything that lives within and without and beside us. Gratitude is not necessarily something that is shown after the event, it is the deep, a-priori state of attention that shows we understand and are equal to the gifted nature of life.                                                                                            Thankfulness finds its full measure in generosity of presence, both through participation and witness.  — David Whyte, “Gratitude” from Consolations
