In a few days, in the midst of war and violence, political upheavals and personal challenges, Thanksgiving will come, and we will be invited to gather with friends and family and even strangers to remember and give thanks – but will we? Our time together this morning will invite us to stop, name for ourselves and share with one another the big and small things that have helped us keep faith, keep going, and stay strong as we face the challenges that threaten to stop us along the way.  Our time together will be dedicated to remembering those things we too easily forget – a God who waits to meet us in the dreams we still carry, those things that “keep the fire lit” and remind us of the work that is ours so we don’t settle for something less than who we are and what the world can yet become!  Fee:  $25
