I mispoke on Sunday morning about what's happening this evening. Sorry! We will not have our regularly scheduled Wednesday Evening activities as the annual Hingham Community Thanksgiving Service is at 7:00 PM. Everyone is invited to come and be thankful together. The service is at the Old Ship Church at 107 Main Street, Hingham.
Did you know that that crazy word we use to refer to communion ("Eucharist") actually means "to give thanks"? Remember that when Jesus first celebrated at the Table with the disciples on that Holy Thursday, it says that it was only "after he had given thanks" that he shared the cup and the bread.
We sure have a lot to be thankful for this week, don't we? But our greatest gift is God himself, in Christ. While we'll celebrate this gift "officially" in exactly one month from today, we can for sure be thankful each and every day for Christ.
May he be with you as you give thanks this week.
