Gratitude.
One word, yet it brings many thoughts to mind. It can hug our heart, bring a smile to our face, change how we see the world, and give us hope. There are many ways to show your gratitude in the world. Today and for the next few weeks, we invite you to share your gratitude for our church and congregation. Use the sticky note below and share whatever you wish. We will post our notes on the rolling display board in The Gathering Place.
We created the art above using your responses. If you’re curious, read on for the full remarks.
