Thanksgiving Blessings
This Thursday we will once again pause to give thanks. In this issue of the e-News for the Christian Church in Indiana, we are giving thanks for the many ways that our congregations are living out the good news of the gospel in service to their communities.
May this Thanksgiving be a time of gratitude, a time for the recognition of blessings, a time to celebrate God's abundant creation in a world focused on scarcity.
Read on for more on the life and work of Indiana's Disciples, and don't forget to check the web site or news blog for more news and information.
