Some of you have asked for the Thanksgiving Liturgy we used on Sunday. I've read it each day for the last week and think that I will keep using it for a while. Pray it blesses you the way it has blessed me. A Thanksgiving Liturgy God eternal and righteous One, Who created the heavens and the earth,... we gather to give you thanks. For breath that fills us with your life, For love that softens our hearts, For beauty revealed at every turn. Christ redeeming and forgiving One, Who is always faithful and merciful. We gather to give you thanks, For renewal, transforming our lives, For peace calming the chaos of our souls, For hope restoring our faith. Spirit sustaining, and compassionate One, Who calls us into relationship with the living God, We give you thanks, For caring when our hearts are aching, For friends supportive in times of need, For generosity lavish and overflowing. God who created the earth and the heavens, Eternal, Redeeming and Sustaining One, We gather to give you thanks, We come with hearts full of gratitude, For all things good, We give you thanks for You. (Pause to express gratitude for your own areas of thanksgiving) For the universe immense and unknown, For the earth on which we live, For humankind made in your image. Thanks and praise to God our creator. For the way you entered human history as one of us For the sacrifice you made for all of us, For dying that we might live. Thanks and praise to Christ our redeemer, For the wonder of your indwelling presence, For the comfort of your guidance and direction, For drawing us together as one body. Thanks and praise to the Holy Spirit our sustainer. Through your will we are made whole, Through your love we are renewed. Through your abiding presence we become one community. Thanks and praise to God, Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer through all eternity. See more

YES - we are allowed to continue to meet, church gatherings are not limited to 15 because of the extensive risk mitigation policies we operate under.
