Thanks be to God for so many indescribable gifts! People: Extravagant God, generous giver of all good things, just as you brought the Israelites into a land flowing with milk and honey—a land where they could be free from bondage and oppression, you have brought us into this good land—a land with flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up in valleys and hills, a land of wheat and corn, of fertile plains, and majestic mountains. We give you thanks: for the bounty that fills our tables, for the water that satisfies our thirst, for the beauty of this land, and the freedom to worship you in this church called Glen Alpine United Methodist. We give you thanks for the abundance of your blessings, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. *Hymn of Praise Children’s Message “We Gather Together” Pg. # 131 Pastor Barb Mayo WORSHIP THROUGH GIVING “We Thank You, Lord” Offertory *Doxology (Uplifted Hands) Chancel Choir Pg. #94 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God all creatures here below: Alleluia!
