Thanksgiving Month, Day 13, November 13

Thanksgiving of the Day: Central Presbyterian Church

In these few days between Living Waters for the World meetings in Franklin, TN and Solar Under The Sun meetings in Little Rock, AR, I have been privileged to spend time with the McRae & Ulrich families in Fort Smith, Arkansas. They have been the ultimate hosts, and I am thankful to have a home away from home!

We worshipped today at Central Presbyterian Church in Fort Smith. We participated in Sunday School on the book of Revelations, and the worship service was a beautiful mix of liturgy and creativity. Both Tom and Cathy preached, each giving their take on the parable of talents found in Matthew 25:14-30. It a needed time of worship in the midst of a chaotic week of meetings and more meetings to come.

Being the second Sunday of the month, Central Presbyterian prepares and serves a meal at the Salvation Army. How wonderful it was to be a part of this mission for the evening, and sure enough, I was able to participate on the serving line with the gravy bowl. There were many wonderful people who came through the line, each more thankful than the next and giving us love just as we were spreading love to our neighbor.

Yes, what a great day of learning, worshiping and serving alongside a beautiful church family!
