All we need to know in 3 minutes?

• What are we thankful for?• What do we count as a blessing?• How have we been blessed

individually and as a church, by God

One thing on a note

Look at our Wall of Blessings

1 Timothy 6:6-76Of course, there is great gain in godliness combined with contentment; 7for we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it;

Matthew 13:4444 ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field

Matthew 6:25-2625 ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

1 Timothy 6:17-1917 As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, 19thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

2 Corinthians 9:6-96 The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work
