Dear friends and members of University UMC:
As we look to the days ahead, many of us will be gathering with family and friends for Thanksgiving. This Friday, I’m passing along to you a blessing and a song. Jan Richardson’s “A Thanksgiving Blessing” is a hopeful vision of the world as it should be. The words are filled with reminders of the Spirit’s work when we gather for Holy Communion in the Sanctuary. Similarly, the song “At This Table” tells of a place where all are welcome. “At this table, everyone is welcome. At this table, everyone is seen.” Whether around communion tables in the church or dinner tables in the home, I pray you are filled with a sense of belonging and an awareness of your own belovedness.
This Thanksgiving Season and in all seasons, I am grateful for you!
What a joy to be your pastor!
Teresa
