The first recorded religious Thanksgiving Day in Plymouth was in 1623, when the colonists gave thanks to God for rain after a drought.
The modern Thanksgiving holiday was brought back by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, and has been celebrated annually since then, typically on the last Thursday in November.We have much to be thankful for today in these end times. I am thankful that nothing separates me from the love of God. - Good morning and welcome
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
