A Prayer for Thanksgiving

and the Coming Advent Season

Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name. As we prepare our hearts to enter the holy season of Advent, grant us watchful hope, renewed faith, and a spirit ready to receive the coming of our Savior. All this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

As Christians, we are storytellers of God’s love. From Creation to Christ—and through us—this love is meant to be shared. Just as Mary and Mary Magdalene spread the Good News, we too are called to share it with joy.

Your gifts and pledges help continue this story—feeding the hungry, offering hope, and showing God’s love in action.

Pledge faithfully. Give generously. Share joyfully.
